I love it, Bless you and your kind heart. I am sure he will be scampering around soon. They usually remove the limb up in the hip joint so it won't catch on anything.

My good friend adopted an Australian Shepherd that required a rear leg amputation. She has adapted well and runs with him every day. She did have to have an ACL repair last year, 6 yrs after the amputation. The remaining rear leg may eventually almost center itself for balance. The only thing the vet required of him was to keep her weight under control because too much weight is not good for the single leg to support.
