Dog Abused By Mexican Drug Gangs Walks Again With Prosthetic Legs
This is Pay de Limon or Lemon Pie and he lives at a dog shelter in Mexico City. Apparently, Lemon Pie was captured by a criminal drug gang and had his front paws cut off.
Witnesses say they'd seen the dog with members of the gang before he was abused. Shelter officials say the gang was practicing for when they cut fingers off people, who've been kidnapped. They say he was found in a garbage can in the city of Fresnillo.
The dog was brought to the shelter, where doctors decided to try fitting him with prosthetic legs. The shelter had to raise several thousand dollars, and get some help from a company in the United States to make the prosthetics, but they got it done.
They cost a whopping $8,000 and were designed in the United States. Workers at the rescue shelter say that Lemon Pie quickly adjusted to the limbs and can wear them for longer periods of time with each passing day.
And now, Lemon Pie is up, walking around and living a more normal life. To watch Lemon Pie get around, check out this video. (Source)

I feel anyone who abuses animals in whatever way they should have the same done to them!! Animals love no matter what.It sickens me to think ppl are like this.
I am just glad that there are still some decent people out there who found him and helped raise the money. To they I say thank you its nice to see some people still care.
GOD BLESS the Shelter that Saved this Precious Dog - Lemon Pie. What a sick sick bunch of people - Please find them and prosecute for cruelty to animals. There is nothing lower than someone who abuses animals or people, this story just makes me sick. ................But THANK YOU GOD - for the saving grace of someone who found this dog, and got help. God Bless the people who were involved in his/her care then and now. And may a couple Angels watch over Lemon Pie for the rest of her/his life - and find her/him a Very Loving, Caring Forever Home. :) Huge Blessings on the Shelter People who begain the healing process,and made the contacts to begin helping the dog. YOU GUYS are TERRIFFIC, I wish more shelters were like You All, HUGS to Everyone involved and GOD BLESS. WOW, You Guys are AWESOME
God bless all the angels who helped Lemon Pie. He is such a beautiful dog and didn't deserve to be mistreated like that.
My goodness, this is so wonderful for that gorgeous dog! He is so fortunate to have found some lovely people in his life. I pray he stays doing very well. Thank you to all who were involved in his transformation! Thank you!
Poor dog, forget legs, cut off their male parts inhumanely and toss them in a dumpster with no proper tools or medical care for the wound nor any pain medication, though I doubt anyone would pull them out and help even if they got out on their own at least it'd scar them and their pride. The fact the dog wasn't just put down is a little surprising with how many pets are put down due to simple lack of space and funds to care for them, all acts of such violence should be thought of as attempted murder even if it was an animal it was in good heath and without reason hurt and left to suffer, besides, the gang members should also be charged with not only torturing the animal but for intent to kidnap and torture humans as well since that was them "practicing" for doing so... shows how a dog that believes it was a pet and member of a group was just as soon tossed in the trash literally after someone got the idea "hey, let's cut off his paws and leave it in the trash, it'll be fun" if laws against such things are not working then the punishment is not harsh enough, at least wild animals like wolves aren't even so cruel, they kill their prey to avoid starving, not torture it.
wonderful ..what evil persons there are in the world ...the punishment should fit the crime
