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.

MICA!!! That face of Zeus!!! He is BEAUTIFUL!! UNBELIEVABLY HANDSOME! His bone structure, his coloring, his eyes.....everything avout him is strikng and so unique! And the way he holds his ears in the Santa picture...ADORABLE!!

Bless his heart for tryng to cover hs bne with grass! He was soooooo determined and so meticulous! He stayed focused and thought it all out! I love hw he made a circle aro d it. 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!way-cool

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.
