About this season
Animal prosthetics expert Derrick Campana travels across the country to help animals with limited mobility. Through his organization Bionic Pets, Derrick builds custom artificial limbs for dogs, goats, cows, and horses (and even elephants!) so they may overcome injury, deformity, or amputation. But it’s not just the loveable critters that are changed forever—the families of the pets also find hope and healing through Derrick’s kindness and generosity. It’s feel-good TV at its finest!
