Dogs are amazing about stuff like this - they are very adaptable and they don't spend much, if any, time feeling sorry for themselves.
When one of our greyhounds was diagnosed with bone cancer, the alternatives were to amputate the leg it showed up in or just let the disease run its course until the pain was too great. We decided to do the amputation and JC did marvelously well. He didn't spend a minute mourning the loss and was able to do everything he did before. People would watch him run and not even realize he was a tripod until we said something about it. We had him for three years after that and I think he was very happy.
