DENVER, Co. -- A Denver dog named Scout is about to get a new leg after being hit by a car earlier this year.

After the crash, his leg was immediately amputated. Veterinarian Robert Taylor said the prosthetic implant Scout will receive is revolutionary.

"There is a remarkable process known as biointegration. Skin, muscle and other soft tissues and bones will grow into certain metallic implants," Taylor said.

Taylor first tried this procedure on a dog named Triumph in 2006. The prosthetic implant was a success and now more and more people are hearing about this revolutionary process.

Taylor said if the procedure continues to be successful in dogs, the next patients will be humans.

"Imagine being able to put an implant down here and you wake up out of bed in the morning, you put on your slippers and take a shower, put on your pants and go to work," said Taylor.

Scout's surgery will take place sometime this summer and he is expected to be back to normal by September.

To pay for the $20,000 procedure, the family is holding fundraisers.
