Heroic Humans

In case you have been living under a rock for the past several years, you know that three dimensional printing is all the rage.  There’s even a very compelling documentary on Netflix called “Print the Future.”  People have begun to use this new technology for some very worthy causes, and just recently, it was used to give a dog with no use of its front legs its mobility back, and a new “leash” on life.

Wendell McClure is a resident of Bakersfield, California and an avid fisherman.  This past Thursday was like any other for him at the start, even if it was a bit rainy out that morning.  What was supposed to be a day of fishing, turned out to be a harrowing day of dog rescue, and now he’s considered a bit of a local hero.

Two stray dogs from Mexico where walking along the highway connecting Monterrey and Saltillo on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2014, when a vehicle traveling at high speeds hit one of the dogs leaving him for dead. In a country where animal welfare is not a top priority, the chances of the two strays getting help were zero to none, but what happened next was just unexpected.

This happened back in October – hopefully these dogs are doing wonderfully now!
