All it took was a quick walk down the hall for the doctor to make the recommendation. Fortunately, due to his size (47 lbs) he's a perfect candidate, though the surgery is fraught with more complications.
If you've ever wondered how a dog with two bum back legs moves, check out this clip (truly a cinematic masterpiece of staggering genius. . . no pun intended):
Because both of his back legs are equally bad, it almost looks like he's walking normally. However, if you watch carefully you can see that he's holding all of his weight in his front two legs. You can tell when he bobs forward and looks like he's gonna topple on his head, like those toys that keep going back for a drink of water.
We schedule surgery later today. . .
