Sunday the Paws-itive Change Award Winner in the Australian Dog of the Year Awards 2025 featured on Channel 7’s The Bright Side
Story Aired –
Well tonight we bring you the three-legged dog with a new lease on life. Strutting the streets in style, Sunday the Rottweiler isn’t your average dog. She can run, she can jump, you’d never guess unless you looked at it that there was something wrong.
Losing her leg at a young age, this prosthetic has given her a new lease on life. She’s got two types of prosthetics. One of them is really short.
When we take her out for a walk, take that one off, then we put her walking leg on which is probably about 10 centimetres longer. It’s the first successful osseointegration procedure in the country and for her bravery, Sunday has just been recognised in the dog of the year competition. So Sunday won the new category which is called the positive change or positive change award because she has been the pioneer and sort of helped pave the way to make this surgery which when she did it was pretty high risk.
I can tell she’s the absolute apple of your eye. Are you proud of her? Yeah so proud. I think she did something that I probably wouldn’t have been brave enough to do for myself.
She’s a bit of a hero and she doesn’t even know it. Indeed. Oh we really don’t deserve dogs, they’re just the best.
