Even his master was in a real dilemma about the quality of life that Pigpen will experience after his amputations. According to Chad, he was willing to do everything as long as Pigpen is comfortable with the pain that he could bear. Pigpen‘s previous disability was making him deformed and his front legs were causing obstruction to have a perfect life. 

Chad started with a variety of desperate measures to make pigpen’s life normal, by experimenting with various prototypes. However, Pigpen was not ready until then to adopt those changes in his life.
