Hoppa, A Mixed Breed Dog Born Without Front Legs, Uses A Prosthetic Device To Walk Outside In Tel Aviv

Hoppa, a four-year-old mixed breed dog born without front legs, uses a prosthetic device to walk outside in the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv February 28, 2010.

The device was invented especially for Hoppa by a animal-loving art student, who hopes his wheeling device will improve the lives of pets born with abnormalities or with amputated limbs.
