Russian rescue dog Monika has a new leash on life after prosthetics operation
CNN
Russian rescue dog Monika has spring in its step after being fitted with titanium prosthetic legs -- just months after doctors suggested she should be put down because of severe injuries.
The operation was conducted by vet Sergei Gorshkov, who is based in the city of Novosibirsk and has fitted 37 animals with prosthetic limbs since 2015 -- although Monika is the first dog to benefit from his work.
Two weeks after her operation, the pooch is adjusting well to her new mobility -- and Gorshkov says she will soon be leading a normal life, although he was "surprised" by the speed of her recovery.
