Derby the dog is one of the most amazing animals I've ever seen.
We've seen disabled dogs who can now walk with the aid of a wheelchair, or blind dogs who have been given back the gift of "sight," but Derby is a special dog all unto himself. With the help of his foster mom, Derby the dog has gone from an animal who wasn't able to walk at all, to a happy, active pet who actually runs on four legs!
Thanks to Tara Anderson and 3D Systems, a 3D Printing company, Derby, who was born with deformed front legs, can now run with his pet parents – sometimes as far as three miles a day! The personalized prosthetics were built on a computer and then printed out especially for Derby, and as you can see from this video, his life has changed dramatically!
I'm so happy there are people out there willing to help animals in this way! Our thanks to Tara and 3D Systems!
