Bionic Dog: World's First Dog Fitted With Four Prosthetic Paws

A bionic dog exists!

Naki'o is the first dog to be fitted with a complete set of bionic paws that work naturally to allow him to run, jump and even swim. Nakio received the paws after his own were severely hurt from stepping into an ice puddle as a puppy. The prosthetics were designed and fitted in a pioneering procedure by Martin Kaufmann, founder of Orthopets.

Here is more information from incrediblefeatures, the YouTube user who uploaded this video:
Hi all, thanks for your comments! Naki'o had very severe frostbite after putting his paws in a frozen puddle as an abandoned puppy. Malnourished and weak he probably did not move from that spot for some time. As a result the tissue of the paws became 'dead' and he could not use them. This dead tissue was removed by a vet once Naki'o was rescued. Once Christie adopted him she saw walking on his legs without the formed paws was growing more painful and difficult for him, and contacted Orthopets.

How can people abandon animals? What kind of soul-less people do those kinds of things?
