Oh wow, I just got word that my biggest inspiration in life, Moose, is facing a huge challenge totally separate from being a tripawd. But as you’ll see, he’s beating this new fight with all of the tripawd gusto he has, so let’s all send him our good wishes.
Moose is why my Mom and Dad decided to go forward with amputating my leg. When I was in so much pain last year, Mom and Dad looked up “tripod dog” on the web, and Mr. Moose was one of the few three legged dog superstars out there. Mom and Dad were so happy to see such a big dawg like him getting around on three legs, that they knew I would have a great quality of life if they gave the OK to have my tumor and leg removed. They were right. Here’s that video:
Moose just had his TWO YEAR post-amputation anniversary! He is an amazing dog that has far exceeded the vet’s prognosis for living with cancer. He is so incredible! But now he is facing something called “wobblers syndrome,” which messes with his spinal cord and makes him have a hard time moving around. His Dad is going all out to get him the best treatment, and he’s responding really well to it.
Moose, please tell your Dad that he should also know about the AST Pet Support Harness. It will help you so much, and you’ll look great in it too! Look at me modeling it!
Please send Moose your good wishes and good vibes, he really is incredible. Go Moose, go! Keep up the great progress, we love you.

Hi all! We are the proud owners of a tripawed ourselves. We rescued her from the pound when she was 5 months old. At 12 weeks old her previous owners through her down the stairs for peeing in the house and landed on a cement floor which shatters her back left leg. Vet emerg took her from them , fix her up and called animal control. They were charged. That was 3 1/2 years ago. She has some after effects and trauma but other than that a great girl. She does some amaizing things that you wouldn’t think she should be able to do. Most people can’t tell right off that she is missing anything. She will do pretty much whatever I ask of her. She goes up the metal stairs at the playground and goes down the slide, sometimes even pushing kids out of the way if they are taking too long. She climbs the ladder on our play equipment in the backyard, but the most amazing thing so far is this. I was climbing trees in the forest with my kids one day , and I heard my mom laughing. I looked down an saw with amazement that my three legged dog was right behind me! We were atleast 7-9 feet off the ground. I can say there is one thing I know for sure that she can’t do is swim. Front end paddles and the back end sinks. Not a good combo. I forgot to tell you that she is an Australian Kelpie(herding breed) and she can run like the wind. We love her very much and I think she would say dido!
