This poor dog has been given the ability to walk again after his paws got frozen to the ground.

Hector, a stray border collie cross, lost his back paws and part of his tail when they froze to the ground in La Loche, Saskatchewan, Canada.

He was spotted by Lisa Korol, 47, who adopted him and gave him some makeshift prosthetic limbs.

But they didn’t work properly so she raised $7,000 for a proper pair that have now been fitted.


Not learning from the past, however, he jumped straight into the snow once they were fitted.

Thankfully this time he was okay.



Ms Korol told Global News: ‘With them on, he’s going constantly. he’s checking things out. He’s trying to jump up where normally he can’t go.’
