Samson

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/n ... 6396083936


SAMSON the collie is finding his feet - and at $2000 a foot, he can't afford to lose them.

For the first time in three years his unique paw prints have joined others on Victoria's Wild Dog Beach.

"C'mon wonder dog," owner Adrian Healey calls as Samson, part pooch, part prosthetic, ambles along, tail wagging. Then seven-year-old Samson plonks himself down expecting to be carried - force of habit.

On Tuesday, Samson came home from the vet with new, designer front feet.

Other Aussie dogs have the odd plastic leg, but the collie is believed to be the first with a pair - front ones - custom-made in the US.

"You can tell his joy. His persona's changed. As soon as he gets his legs on, he starts smiling," Mr Healey said.

"Samson has just realised he can get around again."

Mr Healey and partner Lisa bought Samson as a pup. That was the cheap bit.

Putting new feet on him will end up costing thousands, but Lisa said: "When you love your dog, I think it's worth it."

Mr Healey agreed: "Samson's a beautiful dog. He's just had hard luck."

Three years ago the dog's wrists started to fail. An operation to fuse one sparked a rare reaction and ended in amputation. Then, despite the odds, the other went the same way. Fighting infection sent his kidneys into meltdown.

Samson was on his last legs, any way you looked at it.

"He had complete renal failure. We spoke to (vet Dr David Broomfield) and he said 'this is it'," Mr Healey said.

"I set up a tent in our garden and slept in there with Samson, trying to give him as much love as I could."

The collie hung on. The needle was put off for a week, then a month. With Samson going nowhere, Dr Broomfield made some temporary splints, then took a prosthetics course.

"They've made these legs to fit his stumps perfectly," Mr Healey said.

"They help him walk naturally. Eventually, hopefully, he will be able to run."

Sophie wanted me to tell everyone, take time to stop and smell the roses

Thanks, I'll look into it!


She got spayed yesterday. It's both adorable and sad to watch her navigate with an E-collar.

she pretty much "assumes the position" any time she thinks a tummy rub may be a possibility

Besides licking my hands non-stop, this is another thing she does when I'm over at your place.
