Default Amputee pony inspires the disabled.

Jan. 4: Molly, a pony, lost her leg after a savage dog attack. She was fitted with a prosthesis, and now tours hospitals and schools to teach kids and adults about acceptance and courage. NBC's Wendy Jones reports.

Ahhhhhh that's such a good sport. I can definately see how Molly is a inspuration to the people she visits. Two thumbs up to her owner also. She turned a tragic situation into a positive learning experience for a lot of people.

That is very inspiring. I hope she shows the less fortunate, that there is hope for something better. Good video.

Three cheers for Molly and her "family". She is a heroine and I am sure she helps reinforce those human amputees she comes to visit. Great story.

Mark,
An unfortunate but inspiring story of the will of the animal spirit and modern medicine. Good one.
