Let Your Heart Be Melted By This Dog With Prosthetic Paws

Not even Bruce Springsteen, who once sang about a one-legged dog, could have imagined a more tragic tale than the one that befell poor Brutus.

This two-year-old Rottweiler, found abandoned as a pup in a Colorado parking lot, had all four of his frostbitten paws amputated.

Before you begin crying into your keyboard, take solace in the fact his rescuers raised $12,000 to buy Brutus prosthetic paws. He is only the second dog in history to receive such a gift.

Now, have your day made by watching this new video of Brutus running proudly once again.

It's getting real dusty in here...
