Greer is a young male Maltese mix...
He had been hit by a car and his right rear leg was so badly shattered that the shelter vet had to amputate in order to save Greer's life...
He is now a tripod dog but, he gets along great. It is heart-warming to see the little guy use his three legs to effectively chase his four legged dog pals...

Re: My Handsome Tripod
Great stuff Richard. Again I commend you on your rescue work. I had a three legged dog once that could outrun my other two with four legs.

Re: My Handsome Tripod
Beautiful photos Richard. What a sweetheart. Amazing how well dogs learn to cope with a disability. Humans could take a lesson........

Re: My Handsome Tripod
Richard, I know I have said this to you before, but my Heart Sings!
Your dedication to these puppies is beyond words. The way you photograph them is what photography is about.
They never fail to touch me and my day is always made when you share with us what you do.
Hey man? Thank you!

Re: My Handsome Tripod
It never ceases to amaze me how how well these little guys do with three legs. I worked on a farm, moving cattle daily for two weeks, with a three legged Australian Shepherd (a dog, although the other type may exist). I picked him up to put him into the truck cab and only then discovered he was missing a hind limb. I put his example to good use to encourage people that a hind limb amputation is no impediment to most dogs.
