Israeli student designs two-wheeled walking aid for two-legged dog - animal - dog - video - Israel


Hoppa the dog was born four years ago without front limbs. Avi Kozi, chairman of Israel’s Society for the Protection of Animals adopted him. "From the moment I took him to my house, I knew I had to build something that would help him to move," Kozi said. Nir Shalom, an art student and animal lover offered to help Hoppa by designing a special two-wheeled walking aid for him. Hoppa is seen on his training wheels in the video below. He will get one of the most advanced dog prostheses around, once he is able to handle them.
