A Rottweiler named Brutus living in Loveland, Colo., had his paws removed because of a severe case of frostbite he got when a previous owner left him out in the cold as a puppy, according to a [statement](http://source.colostate.edu/better-paws-for-brutus-csu-partners-to-help-quadruple-amputee-dog/ "undefined") by Colorado State University. At two years old, he is now learning to walk again thanks to four prosthetic limbs from OrthoPets Denver and therapy from the school’s James L. Voss teaching hospital. ### 10 Puppies That Look Even More Adorable Underwater  Pringles & Pickme Seth Casteel  Monty Seth Casteel  Popsicle Seth Casteel  Ginger Seth Casteel  Ruger Seth Casteel  Rolley Seth Casteel  Iggy Seth Casteel  Reason Seth Casteel  Corey Seth Casteel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3769871/quadruple-amputee-rottweiler-dog-walks-prosthetic-limbs/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3769871/quadruple-amputee-rottweiler-dog-walks-prosthetic-limbs/"},"headline":"This Quadruple Amputee Rottweiler Looks So Happy Walking With His New Prosthetic Limbs","datePublished":"2015-04-02T22:06:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:47.577Z","description":"Fall in puppy love all over again","url":"https://time.com/3769871/quadruple-amputee-rottweiler-dog-walks-prosthetic-limbs/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltad720e7c46508451/698786803c1639d0514528b5/quadruple-amputee-rottweiler-prosthetic-limbs.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
