After the surgery Roscoe quickly transitioned from \"baby steps\" to a more elegant gait with his casts.
\"For the first couple of days he was really wobbly on his stilts,\" Roscoe's foster parent, Laurel York told WLOS-TV. \"He's managing to walk around on his little stilts.\"
Crouch told WLOS-TV he's heartened that Roscoe has made a huge improvement in such a short period of time. He pointed out that by walking on his toes in his casts, Roscoe looks and sounds a bit like a tap dancer as he heals.
\"You kind of tap dance like Fred Astaire right now,\" Croch told the pup.
