Watch This Dog Run For The First Time Ever Thanks To 3-D Printed Prosthetic Legs

| Published on December 17, 2014

This video may leave you in tears. This is the story of Derby the dog, a Husky mix who’s life was spared from euthanasia when he was adopted from a shelter. Born with two deformed legs, Derby learned to make due with what he had and found ways to get around… but never in his life has he had the ability to run–until now.

At first his adopted family got him a cart so that he could get around, but it wasn’t until now with the help of 3-D printing was he able to get prosthetic legs that would let him run and be free just like any other dog. Watch his full story below, it’s simply beautiful!



Wasn’t that amazing?! Share Derby’s story with others to brighten their day, just like it did yours!
