Happy puppy adapts to two-legged life [View all]

[joeybee12]

An adorable four-legged creature is now an even cuter two-legged one, and healthier to boot. Three-month old boxer puppy Duncan Lou Who had to have his back legs removed, but the fierce little guy is still up and running.

Duncan was born with severely deformed, twisted back legs, and veterinarians said they threatened to damage his spine. He was sent to Panda Paws Rescue, a Vancouver, Wash.-based organization that helps special-needs dogs get medical treatment. The Panda Paws crew brought him to Vancouver's Animal Care Clinic, where the twisted legs were removed entirely.

Just hours later, Duncan was able to bound about on just his front legs, which is even easier for him now post-surgery. "He's already learned to navigate uniquely since being born with severe defects to his rear legs" Amanda Giese, Panda Paws' founder, told TODAY.com in an email. "Those legs caused damage to his spine, and would continue to until he is in excruciating pain, unless we made the decision to remove them. He's happy, playful, pain-free, joyful and a normal puppy in every other way."
