 It's been a very tough week around here - I'm so sorry for everyone's losses. I saw the photo below and was completely blown away, and hope it can cheer some of you up. Here's a link to the news story. Brutus is a two-year old Rottweiler who lost all four paws as a result of neglect, and recently gained 4 prosthetics to replace them. His foster just adopted him and says he's now happier than she's ever seen him. Look at him go!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Hooray for Brutus! He is the second quad-prosthetic patient from the fine folks at Orthopets! Check out the Tripawds News blog posts for more info about prosthetics , and don't miss our Orthpoets video interviews for details about braces and othotic devices for Tripawds!
