Meet Derby, a NH Dog Who Runs on 3D-Printed Prosthetics
You're going to need a box of tissues for this video.
Derby is a husky mix who was born with deformed front legs. Any dog owner out there knows if you take away a dogs ability to run around you're basically cutting it's quality of life in half.
Thanks to the help of Peace and Paws rescue in Hilsborough, Derby was able to find a foster home with a woman who worked at 3D Systems, a 3D printing company located in Andover, MA.
The dog was soon fitted with custom made prosthetics and was able to run around like it was born to do.
What a wonderful story and a tearjerker! Now excuse me while I go home and hug my dogs.
