A six-year-old pitbull mix is getting a new lease on life thanks to a high school robotics whiz and the 3D printed prosthetic leg she dreamed up to help the pooch get adopted more easily.

Sarah Barros , 16 , raised money to fund the materials for the project, poured research into weight distribution in dogs, focused on measurements and went through the trial and error process to get everything just right.

The right model has helped Tryla achieve better stability and be more active throughout the day .
