Puppy with 3 legs

[mainpower]

My greyhound/saluki had a front leg broken when she was kicked by a horse, and had her leg and shoulder removed. She adapted from day one, and over time her leg has gone into the middle. On a straight line she's faster than my four legged lurcher, but loses speed on turns. She still jumps gates and fences, but does get worried coming in from the garden if the kitchen floor is wet as she seems to skid more easily!
On my vets advice I keep her leaner than I'd like to avoid extra strain on the leg.

I have a lab with a limb deformity. He's now 18 months and gets stronger and better constantly.
Everyone thought I was mad and some outright said cruel.
This is just the best liveliest happiest dog I have ever owned (bar the fact he ate a chair yesterday!)
I'm incredibly grateful for the day I let my heart rule my head and for my fantastic vet who couldn't help him but encouraged and supported us.

We had a lovely lady bring a three-legged greyhound to class - born with a forelimb deformity. He was a happy soul, who was clearly having a lovely life and got around just fine. His owner always said she knew he might not make old bones, but that she was going to give him a really good life until then. I personally think that's a good attitude to have.

He had quite the turn of speed as well, although his cornering was a little questionable - not that it ever seemed to bother him!
