I have known a couple and they did absolutely fine. They adapt quickly. I knew a big collie like dog and a little yappy dog. Both were happy and healthy.
a friend of my has a bulldog "Dozer" he lost his front leg in a lawn mower mishap about a year ago,today,he has a prosthetic and he's doing great.
The ones I knew didn't even have prosthetics.
usually they don't need one,but being that Dozer is kind of a wide ride and weighs quite a bit,he couldn't compensate with only 3 legs.
My daughter, out of the blue told me when she was about 13 she wanted a 3 legged dog when she grew up. LOL! At that point, she had worked with rescues for a couple years and knew of many incidences where the dog sometimes ran faster than their 4 legged counterparts. I think it was about a year after she told me this, her best friend's Black Lab got hit by a car and had her leg amputated. "SASHA" stayed at our house for a week when they went away and you could barely keep her and MY dog out of the pool. When they weren't in the pool, they were chasing each other around the yard. That was ABOUT 3 weeks after the amputation.
Thanks ya'll. She will be so happy to hear all this.
