Dog Walks on Prosthetic Legs After Cartel Cuts Paws Off - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

In a heartwarming report, a dog in Mexico has been given a new chance at life.

The dog, named Lemon Pie was discovered in a trash bin, very close to death in Mexico. His two front paws had been horrifically cut off by members of a gang. However, his luck quickly changed for the better after he was brought to an animal shelter, Canine Miracles, where he was fitted for artificial or prosthetic legs. Canine Miracles raised more than $6,000 so a company based in the United States could construct the artificial limbs. Lemon Pie has not just learned to walk again using the prosthetic legs. He is playful and can even run now.

In another instance involving animals and medical innovation, a tortoise with an injured leg was able to move using a wheel.
