aw. Dog Walks and Plays Again After Getting Four Prosthetic Paws

Life just got a whole lot better for a mixed-breed dog that lost all four paws to frostbite.

Someone abandoned the cute canine named Naki’o at a foreclosed home in Nebraska when he was a puppy.

The poor pup was eventually found frozen in a puddle of water and lost his paws along with the tip of his tail.

He was taken to an animal rescue center, but couldn’t walk or play with other dogs. Instead, he was forced to crawl around on his belly.

Fortunately for Naki’o, he met veterinarian assistant Christie Pace of Colorado Springs, Colorado, who was looking for an animal she could help.
