This is Brutus, a 2-year-old Rottweiler, who has four prosthetic paws.

Apparently a breeder subjected Brutus to botched amputations when the puppy suffered from frostbite after being left in the freezing cold. Vets at Colorado State University, in collaboration with an orthopedics company called OrthoPets, are helping Brutus walk again with support from a crowdfunding campaign. Brutus is only the second known dog to live with four prosthetic limbs.
