amigo dog wheelchair

found at the ‘thinking hands’ exhibition in ventura lambrate at milan design week 2011, a canine prosthetic.

this device is great improvement over other dog wheelchairs or carts because of its increased mobility for the dog. a huge plus is an elastic knee joint that’s set backwards allowing dogs to access stairs and lay down and sit up on their own. the device is still in a prototype stage. see other examples at salone internazionale del mobiledesigner: nir shalom
