A beautiful dog named Watson, who lives in Virginia Beach with his loving human Mary Strokus, finds that he can get around quite well using a prosthetic front leg.

Being tri-pawed doesn't stop this pooch from enjoying life. Active duty navy personnel, Mary Strokus, 30, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States, shared the story of her tri-pawed dog, Watson, and how he gets along just fine on three legs with the help of his prosthetic leg.
