Have students read the article in pairs. Then ask the following discussion questions:
• What are prostheses? (Prostheses are artificial devices that replace missing body parts.)
• How did Derrick Campana get into the animal prosthetic business? (Campana made prosthetic limbs for humans. A veterinarian approached him about making a prosthetic leg for a dog. Since then, Campana has been making prostheses for animals.)
• What is a challenge for Campana in his work? (Since Campana often never meets his clients and doesn’t see the prosthesis on the client, it is hard to fix a prosthesis that doesn’t fit or work quite right.)
• What is Campana’s favorite part of his job? (Fitting the prosthesis on the patient—he loves seeing his patients happy and mobile)
