NEW HAMPSHIRE (Dec. 16, 2014)– A dog born with deformed front legs gets to run for the first time.

“Derby” was rescued from Peace and Paws Dog Rescue in New Hampshire, after his owners could no longer care for him.

Tara Anderson fostered Derby and along with other employees at 3D Systems helped create a unique design that allowed him to get around.

Now Derby has been officially adopted by Sherry and Dom Portanova.

“When I saw him sprinting, it was amazing,” exclaimed Dom Portanova. “I couldn’t believe it! He runs with Sherry and myself every day, at least 2-3 miles. He runs faster than both of us, he never really tires out [and] he’s just so happy to [run].”
