119-Pound Dog With Bad Feet Had To Tiptoe Everywhere - Watch Her Run! | The Dodo Comeback Kids

- čas přidán 24. 07. 2020
- Lumen's a Great Dane who was born with bad feet. She was rescued by a couple who has helped so many special needs dogs and has a pack of their own, but she was in so much pain she could only walk on her tiptoes. Lumen got surgery and had prosthetic legs made just for her - and they cracked under all her weight. Her second set of prosthetics didn't work either. Watch what happens when she finally gets the right legs!
You can keep up with Lumen's incredible new life on Instagram: thedo.do/lumen. You can learn more about Derrick's life-saving work by visiting Bionic Pets: thedo.do/bionicpets.

So wonderful that the surgery and prosthetic legs allow her to run.
"Lumen's got Magic Legs!"
She indeed has magic legs!
Love the forest gump reference lol
I'd like to give a shout out to Bionic Pets. What they do to help quality of life for animals is amazing & a blessing.

I’m I’m going out
Derrick's hard work for helping Lumen has started the ball rolling for others to realize that they can make a HUGE difference in our relationships with our pets. Derrick's ingenuity is going to generate some legendary karma for himself, and all the pets that will benefit from his dedication.
I can never understand why a vet would go right to euthanize when any animal has a disability that can be managed. I'm glad they got a second opinion & she's living a happy life!
It's a lot cheaper to euthanise a dog than to manage the disability. Over Lumen's lifetime she would have had tens of thousands of dollars worth of surgery, medications and prosthetics spent on her compared to much less on one euthanisation procedure. Unfortunately, people will often bankrupt themselves trying to keep their beloved pets going. Even worse, if someone can't afford the care a disabled dog requires but isn't recommended to have it euthanised, they may keep them alive but suffering or abandon them. It's generally a good recommendation, because the people who can afford and are willing to spend money on care will ask about other options or do so, whilst the people who can't can make a sensible choice for everyone involved.
I can. @Lemolea made one good point. The doctor's are first is the lifetime cost and the concerns of the human's ability to pay for the costs it will take to maintain an animal. Some are thinking about the quality of life is going to be a concern, is it worth keeping an animal alive if all they are going to do is suffer just for the selfishness of the human?
So, I think while YES, we who know the animal better have to make the unltimate decision. We just need to make sure we are making that decision out of love and true understanding of our animal companion/family members.
suffer or death , its sad an animal can't talk , and therefor we have 2 shoulder that for them.
a lot of people want good for there animals , but when reality hits you with an extreme amount of cost , then sometimes you have no choice , no matter how hard it is .
i wish there was this government piggy bank for situations like this, but sadly this does not exist.
I lost my leg when I was 21 years old. I've been through numerous prosthetics.
I literally was in here telling the Ortho guy "get it right, please get it right for lumen."
Good stuff
What a great, positive attitude you have. More power to you! X
Ortho guy should consult with people like you and he might have gotten it right faster.
Justus Equality ♥️
God bless you Justus. 🙏🕊
I'm so sorry you've had go through that. I can only imagine the connection you felt to this story & Lumen! I'm sure you are the head cheerleader of all of us cheering Lumen on ❤
I hope you were able to find a prosthetic that works for you & enables you to live life to it's fullest 🙂❤🙏✌🥂
Hats off to those ladies! They have made a lil pet heaven here on earth in their home and property.
They certainly are dedicated to making her life as enjoyable and healthy as possible.
I cried with happiness when she finally got to play in the playground along with her pack❤️
Yes , I ugly cried.
Me too 😢
Fantastic story. Lumen is so lucky to have you loving her. Bless you.
Derrick a real mvp for animals around the world like Lumen!! GO DERRICK!!
Cruel people who leave little puppies in a box. They deserve a home to you know. Their living beings that deserve a good life.
I know right!Thank You!
Jail for those who don't get it
MineCraft G yes! That’s so true 😭
@@brawmankerlexterminateurde860 d to see
Couldn’t agree more! People should start being more empathetic
The dedication between Lumen’s owners and Bionic Pets is amazing! ♥️
Thank you two (and the prosthetics guy) for not giving up on IMPROVING the quality of life for that sweetheart. The world needs more people like you two who love and rescue abandoned and abused animals. Your story made my day, thanks.
Who saves a life saves the whole world 😁🐶💖👍
so glad you guys never gave up Im a grown man and this brought happy tears to my eyes
Her sliding down that ramp made my day. Thank you.
People with golden hearts !!! Rather truly a MOTHER'S heart... God bless you all for taking care of that beautiful soul...

What a delux dog play barn! Lumen is a lucky pooch, having two such caring humans and fun dog friends.
Such a beautiful big baby girl I’m glad she got rescued and helped 🥺😍❤️
God bless you for not giving up on lumen, we need more people like you in this world,7-25-2020.

Lumen is such a beautiful fur baby. It was so sweet to see how much she's flourished.
Its so awesome that her new owners never gave up on her 💜💜💜💜💜
Your awesome
Omg i see you everywhere you supports lots of people!

Aw so sweet to see her so happy and being part of her pack! You two are awesome parents!! You both rock!!
These women are amazing!! They never gave up on her! God bless them💗

I love how the prosthetic legs keep her from touching the ground! That is so clever!!
The look on her face, when she got out at the pole barn was priceless! That made her so HAPPY! GOD bless
“Mom you don’t understand! I need my special shoes so I can run faster!!!”
you have my vote.

Lumen is gorgeous!! Those orthotics are just brilliant.
Every time I watch Lumen and his friends enjoying their moments feel relieved. Thanks to Ashley and Christine Lumen sees how beautiful the world is.
I love her :)
That is so sad
@@stjdjdjdgarcia9652 The video or this comment?
@@hazel5002 I think they meant the video
Thank you for loving Lumen. Thank you to all of the rescuers in the world! 💜
It's unfortunate that it's highly likely she was dumped by a breeder.
That's a dark side of breeders that most people ignore
That's just one side to breeders. There are amazing breeders but there also are bad ones, a good breeder would never dump a dog just because they are different. People are quick to blame all breeders when something like this happens.
I wish people would just stop buying puppies, from these disgusting breeders !
@@suesally2103 you do know they're would be eventually no dogs without responsible breeders? And the only ones left would be genetic messes like this one?
I disagree there is plenty dogs in the shelters, that need homes you don’t need to buy them. From breeders !
The story brought tears to my eyes. It is so beautiful. Lumen is a beautiful dog. It's wonderful that you never gave up on her.
She’s so beautiful , I’m so glad she can play with the other dogs now so she won’t feel left out! Anyone is sick for abandoning her out like that :( but now she’s all better thanks to a better person and surgeries :D
God bless these women who decided to give this loving dog such a great life. Thank you for taking on this challenge. Many blessings to you two. 👏❤️

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv I agree 100% however I don't know how literal you need to take it in 2021. It really is just an unfortunate 'saying' to most these days..except the hardcore deluded bible bashers, of course.
She's so pretty! Oh my goodness!!!💖😭🥰
Simply thank you all.
Its great to see lumen happy and running around like all other dogs. It was really amazing to see her grow and make such progress. She deserves a really happy life and i am sure you guys are giving it to her.
Beautiful dog. Never give up, never surrender
Her gorgeous eyes show a deep soul, Bless You! I'm crying, dogs are the greatest survivors, friends, lovers of life, we need to be more like they are & be grateful for the real joys in life! 💞🐾

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv - We are blessed when we care for everybody and especially those who can't ask for help. Haven't you ever felt joy from helping someone, or something alive that needed it? If you don't feel some of God's presence in that joy I feel sorry for you.
@@CuriousGoodsJessica That is called deflection. Now you are saying, look over here of look over there. That was not your original comment and what mine was about. Yes, it feels nice to help anyone or anything. again, being blessed by God for helping animals is not in the Bible is my comment of 118 verses.
Sooo happy there are angels out there that help these beautiful souls!
The way she unequivocally said, “we are NOT giving up on her.” …..Yes queen, YES‼️💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕💪🏼👑
I really needed this story right now. Everyone involved in Lumen’s journey is a beautiful human being. She’s such a precious and darling girl - what a fighter!!😍
Poor Doggo. She's so cute too....
Seeing people so dedicated to those pups wellbeing makes me so happy. I was watching this video and crying happy tears when Lumen finally got the right size of prosthetics and joined the pack at the barn, you can tell this sweet baby was so happy 😚💕
Lumen could'nt be more.adorable and loving bringing happiness to all who help her. A preclous baby.
Just makes me count my many blessings that my two babies have good health and no special needs. These moms deserve a medal for their unbelievable devotion and patience to the care and well being of Lumen. Bless you all!
Yep... Crying like a baby... Go Lumen! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Baby! Thank you girls for being with her. ❤️❤️❤️ It heals me too. 😘
I love this I just love how they never gave up on her
Two of the sweetest most loving moms a pupper could have and a dedicated inventor trying his best to make Lumen's life better - you keep introducing us to such marvellous and quality human beings, Dodo.
God bless that dog
God does not Bless animals. It is not in the Bible. They do not have souls.
You guys are amazing people. Lumen and all your dogs are so lucky and you are lucky to have them all. Bionic Pets rock too.
We need more people like you!!! This is amazing to see!!!!
Having had a wheelchair dog ourselves, this makes me cry happy tears.
LUMEN... SHE' S GORGEOUS.....A GRACEFUL BALLERINA, GOD BLESS YOU....THANK YOU FOR RESCUING HER,TAKING CARE OF HER FOR YOUR ❤❤❤
I couldnt agree more😊

I'm cried because my heart broke, and I'm crying because Lumen now has the quality of life that all animals should have. Thank you so much to those lovely ladies and the man who made her prosthetics.
Its good people put the effort into disabled pets. I can't imagine the work and dedication.
**WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DOG SHE IS!! AND WHAT "WONDERFUL" + "LOVING" PEOPLE, YOU "BOTH" ARE!!

Her face when she got to go play in the barn with all her friends was priceless.
What incredible people you are...just amazing..giving lumin every chance to have a happy and fulfilled life..beautiful human beings ❤🐕
There is evil in the world but also angels. Thank you for being such great foster humans!
It's fascinating watching an invention come together
Poor girl! I'm happy she's gotten better. I wonder why she was born with so many deformaties?
probably was from a puppy mill dump
kingxxxgamer Sad :(
life is not fair, thats it.
Poor nutrition & poor breeding practices.
poor breeding. her parents could have been brother and sister
or father and daughter or son and mother. that is what happens
when dogs are bred from the same litter.
Lumen is so precious! Thx for loving Lumen & doing everything you can to make life great for her. I am praying for her. God bless
She got great parents. Bless you little girl and so proud of her parents.

This dog is so gorgeous, I would love to have a dog that looks like her. ❤️😍
WoW!! She is such a beautiful soul!! She is so sweet and loving!!
I wish for her nothing but positive outcomes with these prosthetics!! I am so glad that she has such a loving home!! Best, BEST regards!!💜💜💜💕🌷
Poor little sweetheart ,I'm so glad it all turned out well for her as she seems such a nice girl.
Beautiful wonderful people. It’s so nice everyone came together to help Lumen. That bionic pet guy is amazing and obviously has a big heart and is passionate about his job. Fantastic! Nice job everyone!
This may be the BEST DoDo story ever!
What a precious angel!! She looks like my boy great dane😍😍
Thank you for giving this beautiful dog a good life.
I think her nick name should be Cinderella. From being cast out to ending up in a castle with two princesses and new shoes.

I'm grinning and crying at the same time. You are an inspiration, Lumen.
Aww cute dog she is not deserving of these problems but it makes her who she is 😍
Lumen is incredibly motivating! Happiest dog in the world❤
Wow, gorgeous dog and certainly amazing people that are helping her!
So proud of her, she's back on her feet

This is a shelter which I wish to have one day! I love how you guys have taken care of dogs even during bad weather. This is so much different from other shelters. All the dogs seem so happy.
Keep up the good work guys. Much love. 💙
thank you for saving her despite her ballerina differances and sticking through her troubles, this is beautiful, i will never again loose hope after this, Thank you guys thank you!
Thanks to you both. You both are ROCK STARS in my book. Keep up the great work you two.
She is so pretty and cute I don’t care about her feet that’s what makes her special
She is SOOOOOO CUTE🤗 Thank the Lord for caring people that has given her a new & happy life. My brother rescued a doggie in TJ. She turned out to b such a good doggie but she did have health issues which Im sure living on the streets of TJ was part of the reason for her health issues. She did go to Doggie Heaven & will b missed 4ever 💔. Thankfully she got to spend the last 9 mo of her life feeling the Love she deserved.
Prayers for this very special Great Dane🙏 Hoping she will have a long & happy life. She is obviously HAPPY😊. GOD BLESS ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN HER SO MUCH CARE & LOVE ❣
She has a great fighting spirit ❤️ praying she stays happy forever n ever 💚
She is so cute!
What a sweetheart
I love the dodo
I hate it
Why would anyone give a thumbs down to this video? Thumbs up help support their efforts. Shame on anyone who can be so heartless and negative. I for am so grateful that Lumen was connected with the two people who would make sure she gets what she needs. Thank you both for taking care of her. I truly believe what goes around comes around. You guys have good coming towards you, although, with all the pack love you have, I’m sure you already are living it!
So heartwarming 💗 it was beautiful to see her flourish with all the love and care from everyone.
She's gorgeous and so are all the people in her life (and her dog pack, too).
I love how much effort both parties put in just so a dog could run. Very heart-warming.
Lumen is truly an angel from above! Animals teach us so much about life. Thank you for saving this precious girl 🐶🌸🦄🍩
"Ballerina Dog" Is Best Dog
Absolutely so sweet. Lumen is so charismatic, lovable, and precious. I hope that if I ever see here around Oregon I can give her some pets
This video is so amazing.. just seeing the work these two women did to give this dog such an amazing life is just so heartwarming.. it makes me wanna cry...
Thanks so much for all you did for this Personable Pooch! She is so blessed to be rescued by you guys. Isn't Love wonderful? The Love that saved Lumen and the Love of the Dog friends that sustain her is admirable! Blessings to all out there, especially Lumen! 😍
Lumen es fantástica, pero sus rescatadoras son unos ángeles por darle la oportunidad de crecer y ser el perro que estaba destinada a ser, un trabajo maravilloso por parte de Bionic Pets, nunca se rindieron y ésto dio sus frutos, felicidades a todos.
