About My Bionic Pet
Have you ever seen a pig in a wheelchair? How about an alligator with a prosthetic tail?
Originally aired as a NATURE documentary, My Bionic Pet takes a look at animals with injuries or disabilities—and the custom prosthetics their humans develop for them. Bionic limbs, tails, and even a beak are created for our four- and two-legged friends to improve their mobility, their overall quality of life, and their emotional wellbeing. It's a state of being they embrace whole-heartedly.
Follow the stories of a horse, a pig, a swan, an alligator and several dogs, all of whom have been provided with prosthetics that have changed their lives. And meet the dedicated experts and caregivers who have made it all possible.
