The Internet loves animals because they're adorable and hilarious. But we also love a good wholesome story of animals overcoming trauma and adversity to live a happy and healthy life. Dexter's story is one of these.

Dexter is a 6-year-old dog who has gone viral because of his unique behaviour. Due to an accident as a puppy, Dexter lost one of his front legs. However, he adapted to life on three legs quite well but developed a unique new ability; he walks upright on his hind legs like a furry little human.
