Hope, the Bionic Dog: We Can Rebuild Her, We Have the Technology

Hope the Maltese puppy was born without front legs, so orthotist David Turnbill made her a wheeled-device (out of airplane model parts) that lets her skate through life!

    Awww... What a cutie.

    She's lucky she's a tiny dog. I think it might be a tad harder to do this sort of thing with a Great Dane.
