Meet Tumbles. Thanks to the use of 3D-printing, this very lucky little puppy is able to walk again.

The puppy was taken to the Friends of the Shelter Dogs (FOSD) in Athens, Ohio, when he was just 2 weeks old. The 0.7-kilogram (1.5-pound) terrier mix was born without his front legs. His disability left him struggling to compete for milk from his mother, so staff at the shelter had to provide him with extra care and bottle-feed him.
