A dog can walk again after he was fitted with prosthetics following frost bite injuries that cost him his paws.
Naki’o, from Nebraska, US, also lost part of his tail when he was abandoned in a cellar as a puppy.
The mixed-breed had grown up unable to play with other dogs and could only move by shuffling on his belly.
But now Naki’o is able to run, swim and jump on his prosthetic limbs, which were fitted thanks to the help of his owner, veterinarian assistant Christie Pace.
‘I have a soft spot for rescue animals in general. I was looking for something different, unique,’ she said.
‘I wanted to make more of a difference than a regular dog. I knew I could help him out.’
Pace put together a fundraiser for the dog, which initially raised enough money for two back leg prosthetics that cost between £600 and £2000.
