SPECIAL-NEEDS PET Prosthetic legs help Hector TAKI RACHEL PSUTKA LEADER-POST Team names new president and CEO IAN HAMILTON LEADER-POST For one Regina dog, enjoying the finer things in life like lifting his leg on an outdoor romp, burying his head in a snowbank, or tearing through the house is a newfound joy thanks to a shiny new set of prosthetic legs. Hector, a nearly two-year-old border collie-shepherd mix, had a rough start to life. Born to a stray in La Loche on a frigid January day in 2013, his hind legs and tail froze to the ground. They were amputated, and since then Hector has perfected a balancing act of walking only on his front legs.

If people tell you a dog with two legs cant run away from you, theyre wrong, owner Lisa Korol said with a laugh. Korol had sworn off ever having a dog again after her 13-year-old lab-Rottweiler cross passed away But within six months, she adopted Hector from Prairie Sky Dog Rescue, knowing the then-six-month-old puppy would have a few special needs. Him having no back feet wasnt an issue because hes just like any other dog, Korol said. See HECTOR, A2 DON HEALYL-P Craig Reynolds Jim Hopson stayed out of the process when the Saskatchewan Roughriders searched for his successor. That said, the Roughriders outgoing president and CEO knew what the organization had in Craig Reynolds the CFL teams chief financial officer for the past six years.

The board had to do (the search), but I did say to them, If you find somebody better than Craig, hire him, because I was very confident in Craig and felt he would do a great job, Hopson told reporters Tuesday after Reynolds was named the new president-CEO.
