LOOK: Cutest Yorkshire Terrier Ever?

We didn't think this Yorkshire terrier with a uni-wheel could be any cuter -- until we found out her name is Hope.

BuzzFeed's assertion is right; Hope is definitely "the cutest thing on one wheel."

Though animal prosthetics are not incredibly common, many pets have benefited from the assistance of artificial limbs recently.

Earlier this year, a Florida veterinarian and his son fashioned a makeshift wheelchair for a pig named Chris P. Bacon, who suffers from a congenital birth defect. Weeks later, in February, a golden retriever named Lily, born without a front paw, was fitted with an prosthetic paw to help her walk and train to become a therapy dog.
