The three-legged shelter dog is earning a new lease thanks to high school robotics Whiz and the 3D printed prosthetic leg they dreamed of to help dogs get adopted more easily.
The heartwarming story begins when a school counselor approached Sarah Barros, 16-year-old leader of the Southampton High School robotics team, with an extraordinary opportunity to test her skills.
“[The counselor said] “I know you're very interested in design engineering. I've heard from friends about this amazing opportunity. I heard there are dogs in the shelter that may need paws. There's. This is a cool project you can undertake,” Barros said in an interview Tuesday with “Fox & Friends First.”
“There was no reason I shouldn't. It was a really fun journey.”

It is speculated that Tryla, a friendly six-year-old pit bull mix at the heart of the story, lost her right front paw after hitting a car when she was young. The owner, who didn't mind her, brought her to the Southampton Animal Shelter in Hampton Bays, New York two years ago, the New York Post reported.
Baros sat in a trila resting on his lap, raised money to fund project materials, poured research into dog weight distribution, focused on measurements, and made everything right It went through a trial and error process.
Some models pinch and irritate the skin of Torira. Others did not take into account her other joints completely.
Amy Beths Stern of the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation in New York said that a proper model will help Trilla achieve better stability and become more active throughout the day.

“She is an absolute beloved person and it's hard to see in the past the extra effort an individual has to put in for a dog with special needs,” Stern told Fox News.
“We're here at the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation and we're focusing on senior dogs and dogs with special needs, and what will help them, whether it's medicine or prosthetic. The owners are , it certainly supports applications and recruitment.”
Torira still lives in the Long Island Shelter, looking for her eternal home. Stern says that her “great, sweet” furry friend likes her attention and is most likely to benefit from other dogless families.
“She really likes people. [She needs] Someone who can exercise her and have the patience to the fact that she needs a little extra help. She exercises to stay on the healthy weight side, as her disorder may lead to some kind of weight gain, as her disorder may lead to some kind of weight gain. You need to do it. but [she needs] Someone who loves her in our way. ”
