These Animals Have Thrived Despite Their Disabilities

Coal, The Bionic Dog

This gorgeous bulldog is Coal. Unfortunately, he developed cancer and had to have one of his paws removed a couple of years ago. But luckily for Coal he has a human companion, Reg, who loves him very much. So much that Reg shelled out $13,000 for Coal to be fitted with a new bionic front foot.

Reg told the Daily Mail “[Coal] goes everywhere with me – he goes on tour, he’s the only dog to have allowed into Live 8 and the only dog that has ever been backstage at the Royal Albert Hall.” Sounds like Coal is coping pretty well with his bionic paw!
