Cola was recently fitted with prosthetic legs by Thai animal welfare charity The Soi Dog Foundation and, as you can see, he was incredibly pleased about it.

The Soi Dog Foundation posted this video of Cola to their Facebook page on 30 July. It quickly went viral, and has since been viewed over seven million times.

The first challenge that the vet clinic staff face in the video is getting Cola to sit down, because he's so excited about the attention he's getting.

Cola lost parts of his front legs after being attacked by his owner's neighbour, who severed them with a machete. With that in mind, you'd expect him to be nervous of humans, but (as you can see here) he's extremely friendly.

Finally, the staff manage to strap his new legs into place.

At this point Cola is still not too sure what's going on, but he's clearly damn happy. The head vet at the clinic that treated Cola also holds an engineering degree, and made the new legs are from durable plastic.
