Quadruple Amputee Dog Receives Life-Changing Prosthetics

A rottweiler is not letting a mistreatment in his life keep him down. He's up and running thanks to the kindness of strangers and a team of Colorado developers.

Two-year-old Brutus is capturing the hearts of people around the country with his happy, high galloping walk. When he was a puppy, Brutus was left in the cold and suffered frostbite on all four paws. He now has a new set of "bionic" paws... and a forever family.

The Colorado dog is the second known canine to have four prosthetic limbs. Brutus' next step involves physical therapy. He'll also get an improved set of prosthetics, all to help Brutus become even better.
