Oh yeah, he has an owner... The person who rescued him after his injury has had him since 2010. 
I have a few videos of Zeus from the fall - nothing very recent though. Here you go
A very determined and patient Zeus burying his bone in the grass:

Zeus being silly, not quite understanding the concept of "fetch":

Here's a photo from our visit with Santa Paws!

WOW! That just blows my mind and rocks my world! Amazing! Do you know if he was 2-legged from birth?
Zeus, you are one lucky and handsome doggie. I love seeing pics of you!

According to what I read, he was shot just after turning 2 -- though it's unclear at what point the amputation(s) happened.

He realy, realy calculated every move. So cute when he would stop fr a second to see what his next move was! wa ted tl come over with a shove and help hi ! ery smart dog!
And Frankln is a precious friend! Nice of yo to share your sofa!
You hit the lottery Zeus! And yeah, i think yo need ore beds tl sleep ! Three's just ot enough!
Yes Zeus, you are a beautiful boy. But yor "soul sista' Roxy" still wns the prize for the sweeeeeeeetest, most gentle faced mug in the land!
Much love t all!

Wow, it's just amazing that he can balance like that. Next time someone is afraid that their Tripawd might need to lose one of their 3 legs, I'll be sure to point them here! He is hope defined.
Again, another example of a dog showing humans how truly resilient animals are! Very cool.
