I visited a friend with a tripaw cat once. The cat limped over to me so pitifully to be petted and fussed over. Later we watched him through the window rocketing around the yard as fast and agile as any four legged cat. The cat had figured out how to scam new visitors. Clever cat!

Have you ever seen the clip of the dog who drags his lifeless rear legs over to tourists to get free food, then stands up and runs off on four healthy legs to eat somewhere else?

@@SableCatDog Dogs are actually known for sometimes faking injuries for attention. Our poodle learned that limp inducing paw splinters or stickers got him lots of love and fuss, and he took advantage of that just enough to not over do it, and fool us every time.

Our girl correctly identifying WHY he doesn’t like the nails being done just saved his owners a lot of future stress. Good job!

Absolutely agree with ya. Having a leg missing and not being able to balance probably had the little one worried about falling. Great to see Vanessa help the owners identify what is needed for their beloved furry friend to be okay.

I heard a vet once say "I believe dogs are born with 3 legs and a spare" after he had to sadly remove a dog's leg after a car accident. And that really stuck with me, as I've never met a three legged dog that wasn't thriving.

Wild. I thought it was common knowledge that three-legged dogs need extra care to make sure the remaining limb doesn't suffer from having to compensate, especially as they age. Dogs cover pain, so of course they'll usually seem "fine"?? But obviously it's extra work. If three legs was a good body plan some animal would have evolved it. Everyone is in such a rush to coo over the animal and compensate for some imaginary hatred or pity they're acting foolish saying dogs don't need their legs. Insanity.

Aw, sweet boy. We have a tripod dog (lost a rear leg when she got hit by a car, I think), and she's so sweet. My former neighbors had said they wouldn't have any more cats after losing their previous ones, but they took in a stray with a badly healed front leg and they got that amputated and now that cat is so much happier as a result.

We have a tripod cat in our neighborhood. When he hops over to you it's so cute 🥹

I don’t know if you read comments, but if you do, just wanted to say you are awesome and inspired me to find a unique way to help animals in shelters find homes. I’m an artist, and after some networking, found a local shelter (rural Pa) that is willing to let me draw some of their fur friends and share the art and the animals info to hopefully help them find homes. Im starting with the senior ones first. I hope it helps and they can get a loving family. Your efforts inspired me to have the gumption to try to think outside the box to help animals. Thank you for being so awesome and doing what you do. 💜 (love, from a fellow Vanessa)

My middle sister has a tripod dog named Watson. He was found as a stray in Italy (my middle sister was in the Navy and traveling a ton) and we assume he got hit by a car and his leg was badly injured to the point where it had to be amputated. He was terrified of humans at first but after he and my middle sister moved back to the USA he got used to other people including our family. We’d often dogsit him whenever she was in the Navy traveling and he grew an attachment to my dad since he would be with us for many months. My middle sister retired recently so he now stays with her happy and living the best life. He’s an incredible dog with an incredible backstory. We all love Watson so much, even if he barks at the tv whenever there’s another dog, a cat, or a horse on it. He’s not the brightest dog of the pack, but he’s still a very good boy

Tripawd is everything. And what a beautiful and sweet doggo.

My Great Grandparents had a beautiful tripod shepherd mix named Sandy and she was amazing. Forty years later I still smile at the memories of Sandy running around the yard playing with everyone ❤😊

I took a break from your videos in early september due to my 15 year old fluffer doggo being put to sleep, as his old age was making him suffer with awful runny stools, constant exhaustion, and he was getting very bad cataracts, and he would sometimes not eat, and drank too much water. after that, life got more confusing and hard for me to deal with until just last month, but now i'm ready to watch your content again, even if there's always an empty hole in my heart

I know it's hard to lose a furry friend. I lost many while growing up due to old age. Dogs who loved running around and licking my face and cats who helped me feel warm and comforted after a session or two full of frustration and stress from work or inspire me to write stories. Know that your furry friend is no longer in pain and is roaming happily is Heaven. Here's a few hugs to help along the way.🫂🫂

Most of us here know how hard it is losing a furry friend. When you are ready though, another doggo or pet will bounce their way to you, to give you companionship and love. Just open your heart, and while they will never replace the one you lost, they will still be wonderful companions in their own way.

Such a good, drooly boy! I hope he has many more pain-free years ahead.

You wouldn't like your feet lifted either, if you were a tripod. Minimum number for stable footing. What a cute drool-machine.

"You need at least three legs on the ground" ~somebody with, at most, two legs

He was the bestest boy!! He deserves all the treats ❤

I had a tripod dog that had similar coloring. He was in the street with a damaged front paw that was infected. Removing the whole leg was the best option. Rescues are forever grateful! He would have done anything for me. He adapted immediately! One time he got attacked and he couldn't use one of his back legs. The vet put him down on the ground after he was stitched up and he ran off on two until he stopped to wait for me. I ran and caught him before he fell over. He was so surprised that two legs were not enough. He recovered from that nasty wound with a lot of help and then was even more grateful!

Dogs and cats both are incredibly adaptable after losing a limb. It’s amazing.

How handsome! His color is so beautiful! What a brave boy! Way to go Briggs’ family! Vanessa could clip nails upside down, while on a trapeze, while a dog bounces on a trampoline between swings!!! Such a good boy!🐾🙌🏻🐶

Brigg, what handsome, well trained pup. He did excellent during his spa session. Good boy.😊🥰

Truly the goodest boy. I love him.

A beautiful pup with a beautiful groom.

Just had a heart squeeze right there ❤

He's very very handsome !! He did wonderful!! What a sweet gentleman!!

Bless his little heart. ❤

One of the fastest dogs I have seen in my life was a tripod lurcher. She was so fast she gave my 4-legged lurcher a run for his money, it was spectacular!

Thank you for yet another inspiring video, Vanessa. I *Love* how you adapt to the dog's needs, e.g., clipping his nails without raising his paws. You're the *Best!*

Not a bark, not a song of his people, no whining. Just stoicism. He was so adorable. Tripods/bipedal, puppies/kitties/bunnies....Love love, LOVE!!!!

Wow, he looks FANTASTIC at the end!

"He doesn't seem to care aboot this at all" OMG WHY IS IT SO ADORABLE HOW SHE SAYS THAT

He is so beautiful. Bless his precious heart and his new family. Thank you for caring and sharing Vanessa. 🙏🏽🥰🐕‍🦺♥️

You are so patient and kind to these animals. You have such a big heart. Love your channel. Watching from Utah. ❤

He’s livin his best life. ❤ Every time you do a face wash and it looks like you are giving them a head massage….. always looks so relaxing!

The "Wait. What's That?" "Oh no" bit made me chuckle. He's beautiful.

We had a three legged cat when I was young and we called her Peggy, she was a nightmare but I loved her dearly. Three legged animals are just as cute and lovable as their four legged counterparts. Thank you for sharing this lovely puppy ❤

omg he is such a pretty lil boy. The tripawds are one of the kindest most grateful dogs i meet.

Didn't even notice the missing leg before the bath. He's living his best life !

Such a beautiful baby ❤ hugevthank you to a loving rescue family that saved this wonderful three legged angel ❤

He is so beautiful. You are simply the best friend to all your clients. You have the patience and love needed and your clients sense that. His fur looks so much better. XOXOX

Omg me and mom are laughing thinking about Craig's delimema for his nail trimmed being some thing he doesn't like" well not dam I only got 3 legs humans, it's hard to balance on 2! " 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he's a cutie!

You are so understanding of his needs. I am glad you can pass along how to clip his nails to his family.

Can't believe I'm here 4 minutes after a post! I'm usually tardy to the party, even with notifications lol I imagine as a tripod, he would feel too unstable to lift for nail trims, maybe even while sitting.

What a sweetheart!!!! Well Girl, you did it again🎉🎉🎉🎉

Most tripods have very good lives. If you adopt one, you'll be very proud of your choice. I had 4 mature cats and one was a tripod. He was 2nd to the group. He wasn't fast or very jumpy but he lived his life very well. The other 3 cats never noticed he was a "three stroke engine." And then I stopped noticing.

I have a Belgian Malinois who's blind in one eye (she had to have the entire eye removed). I rarely notice it.

What an awesome boy! One of our rescues had a litter in the shelter before we got her (and she and the litter all got parvo with all but one surviving!). On of her puppies' rear leg developed the same sort of crippling arthritis to the point where he just stopped using it. Last time I talked to them they were discussing amputation same as Brigg's owner chose. I hope they go for it. He's a good boy.

I lov your vlogs. You are so caring loving with these animals. 😊

Brigg is such a handsome guy!! Good on his family for taking such good care of him. ❤

Aw, I was waiting for him to get a scarf 😮❤Adorable, sweet natured, brave boy.🥰

I loved that Vanessa considers the possibilities of WHY the dog (or cat) might not like something and can often find a different angle. When they mentioned Briggs didn’t like his nails cut, I had a feeling it was because of his balance, having even one leg lifted would leave him discombobulated and decidedly uncomfortable. This way the job can be done without upsetting the lovely man!

Brigg is truly a beautiful dog, and you can see he is well cared for!

Thank you for all these videos and showing us how to best approach any dog of any sort when they need help! ❤ this channel has taught me so much

I love to see an adult Tripawd thriving! I've got a 5 month old golden who's front left leg has a deformity. We are waiting for him to grow up more to see if he can do a prosthetic or if amputation will be more humane. He uses his butler arm to club his big sister when they play 😂

Awwe he's a beautiful drool-y dog. 😍

Such a sweet boy and his living his best life with his beloved family. Tripawed or not, I wish him all the best for him. May he live a wondrous life with his forever family. So happy his family was able to save his life.🫂

He is gorgeous!!!
