Man's Best Friend Gets A New Paw
The first metallic limb implant was successfully completed in England to a poor pooch name Storm. He lost his paw after it became infected with a vicious tumor. Doctors decided to use a new metal artificially created to mimic bone. This advancement allows skin to grow over the metal creating a seal not possible before. The limb itself is shaped like a scoop, has the strength of metal, and flexibility of plastic, enabling Storm to do all the things he once did.
Storm will be closely monitored since his paw could mean a new class of prosthetics for people. Up until now, metallic prosthetics were only worn over the missing limb.
Give it up to Storm ya'll.
