Derby the dog's 3D printed prosthetic legs - A heart warming story

[Toby]

It's National Dog Day in the USA today. However, while we are on different continent, I thought it was a good excuse to share a truly heartwarming video of a young dog given a new lease of life with a pair of 3D-printed prosthetic legs.

It will make you smile....guaranteed

Absolutely brilliant @Toby

One of the reasons I never miss Noel Fitzpatrick The Supervet. An awe inspiring gifted vet who has pioneered surgical procedures and prosthetics for many animals. Based in the UK...he is an exceptionally gifted man

As someone who specialised in trauma and orthopaedics, I wish we had someone of Noels calibre doing similar work on humans...

loved that vid Toby - great feelgood factor & awe at tech 3D printing 

& it was you Cleoriff who put me onto watching The Supervet on tv 

last week he was doing something on a dog's spinal cord with a metal 'hinged' inplant, which I believe he said, is yet to be done on humans, & as Noel remarked animals have been used for 'R & D' proceedures for work to be done on humans, so its only fair that we do the same for animals now ..... SuperGuy Noel Fitzpatrick yes Cleoriff
