Dog gets new legs after being attacked with sword
A dog in Thailand has been given two new legs.
Cola was 9 months old when a man with a sword chopped off his legs, ABC in Australia reported. A neighbor of the owner punished the dog for chewing a pair of shoes.
The dog's owner offered his neighbor money to pay for the ruined shoes, but the neighbor came back that night with a sword.
The attacker said in court that it was an accident and was sent to detention for a month, according to news reports.
Cola is barely a year old and was just doing what puppies do. Having managed to get out of his home and into a neighbour...

The case was reported to Soi Dog Foundation, an animal welfare group in Asia, which helped save Cola's life.
Cola was fitted with a wheeled harness to help him get around as he healed. He also walked, or hopped, on his back legs.
But new prosthetics help Cola run and play.
After having his two front legs hacked off with a sword, Cola shows the world he can rock prosthetics!
