Derby was never very good at fetch. He was born with a disability and it seemed like a cart with wheels was his best option — until Tara Anderson built him a brand-new pair of legs.
“I kept looking at his photo and reading his story, and I cried literally every time,” Anderson, an employee of 3D Systems in Rock Hill, South Carolina, said in a viral video that has now been seen more than 2.27 million times. “I had to try to help this dog.”
At first they tried a cart with wheels, but that limited Derby’s mobility, especially when playing with other dogs.
