Nakio, a mixed-breed dog is becoming famous rather quickly for becoming the first canine to receive four artificial limbs! Nakio was rescued as a puppy from an abandoned home in Nebraska during the winter.

He was found in terrible conditions which included being frozen in a puddle in the home of the basement. He was malnourished and was experiencing frostbite. When found, veterinarians worked extremely hard to nurse Nakio back to health. However, he lost all four of his paws, the tip of his tail and a piece of his nose to frostbite.

Nakio is being referred to as the “bionic dog” and gets around using his prosthetic paws extremely well!  To continue reading about Nakio and his amazing story, CLICK HERE!
