Wonderful Tri-Pawed Doggy Learns to Lie Down

Occurred on June 28, 2021 / Missoula, Montana, USA

Info from Licensor: "Elliott is my dog. She is a 10 year old black lab mix. She began limping one day without any obvious signs of injury, and was not improving over the course of a month. I happened to see a reddit post featuring a three-legged dog, and the person who posted it said his pooch had been limping without improvement for a month. He took his dog to the vet to find out it had cancer, and they amputated a leg. Based on the reddit post, I took her to my vet where she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on June 16, 2021. Her left front leg was amputated the following day because of the pain the cancer causes. She is scheduled to start chemotherapy on June 30th. Even before her amputation, she would plop down and bonk her head because of the pain in her front leg. She continued to do that after the amputation, forgetting she didn't have that leg to stabilize her. But over the course of two weeks, she has gotten much better at lying down without bonking her head. This video was taken in my backyard on the evening of June 28th, just shy of two weeks after her surgery."
