Snoop the dog says, “Don’t call me Tripod!”
Your responses throughout Snoop’s ordeal have been heart-felt and positive - from the time he had his lump removed and diagnosed, to the decision that I had to make to amputate, and to after the amputation. If he was human, he would be very grateful because I know I am.
Many of you expressed sadness which is expected. So let me share with you some pictures and a video (1:46) which will show you that, although he’s not the same as before, he hasn’t lost any of his spirit. 
And to make sure that he remains healthy for a long time yet, I will be adding more freshly cooked meat to his diet for extra nutrition to protect and strengthen his joints, especially the ones around the remaining front leg.

maybe you can consider a prosthesis limb? i dun think long term stress on the front limb & hind limbs is good for him.

Hey about the prosthetic leg thing, my neighbour`s dog didn`t have any long term problems (re: stress on limbs) living years on three legs. She started getting really crafty within a matter of weeks, using her snout and teeth for opening gates instead of pawing and scratching etc. Animals are really very adaptable and resourceful. Snoop won`t be any different! *Hearts&Hugs*

He is all good. There’s one thing funny that I notice though — he doesn’t respond much to your calling (whistle). I think you need to practice/train more. LOL.

I feel Snoop is quite a Bochup dog, he would rather do things he feels like depending on his mood. You can see him wagging his tail wherevever he go.
Does Snoop Mingle with other dogs in the neighbourhood?

Have you heard of a book called the “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe” by Fannie Flagg? One of the character, a boy, got his hand amputated and when he was expectedly lamenting the loss of his limb, another character brought him to see a dog who is like Snoop. That dog was pretty much acting as if he has all his legs in tact and that gave the boy some hope that life is not over just because he lost his arm.
I’m sure pretty soon, Snoop will be inspiring others in that way too -

Glad the dog is okay…i’ve always grown up with dogs and would have been distraught if something happened to them.

Even though I cannot touch dogs, I see Snoop like that, so kesian… 2 secs into the clip, my eyes watery already. Nangis lah. The 2 pics on the upper row, his face so kesian like that. *sniffs*
But it’s good to see that he’s adapting to his situation. So pandai. Hope he’ll fully recover soon. -
