In a heartwarming and awe-inspiring twist, the tech world turns its spotlight onto a different breed of users: our beloved four-legged friends. Recently releasing a touching video titled “The Invincibles,” Apple showcases the incredible journey of Trip, a spirited dog born with a limb difference. Instead of succumbing to his challenges, Trip’s story takes a joyous turn with the help of cutting-edge technology.
Tripping into a Tech-Driven Adventure
Narrated with heartfelt warmth by Trip’s owner, the video captures Trip’s boundless enthusiasm as he dashes through life, powered by a custom-made prosthetic limb. Thanks to the LiDAR scanner and TrueDepth camera system of the iPhone 14 Pro, prosthetics where crafted by 3DPets engineers that perfectly fit Trip’s unique anatomy. The three-dimensional body scan technology not only celebrates Trip’s resilience but also showcases the remarkable partnership between tech innovation and compassionate care.

Where Tech and Tail-Wagging Triumph
Trip isn’t alone on this journey of tech-augmented happiness. Joining him are other dogs, each with their own prosthetic devices, embracing their differences and thriving in everyday doggy activities. In a delightful twist, tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee takes us behind-the-scenes at 3DPets, revealing the magic behind the creation of these pet prosthetics.
Bridging the Pawst: A Leap into the Future

3DPets takes a stride forward in pet care by merging technology and love. As they put it, while technology has taken countless industries by storm, the realm of pet orthotics, prosthetics, and carts has been left behind. But not anymore. 3DPets aims to revamp these industries, offering pets in need the chance to strut, swim, and fetch with the latest and greatest in prosthetic technology.
Pawsitively Life-Changing Tech

Just like their human counterparts, these pets find a new lease on life with their prosthetics. Enhanced mobility, redistributed weight, and reduced strain on their limbs allow these dogs to enjoy more energetic and pain-free lives. With 60% of a dog’s weight borne by their front limbs, a prosthetic becomes a lifesaver, fending off conditions like arthritis and joint deterioration, ensuring our furry friends can wag their tails for years to come.
From Tails to Trails: Tech’s Tender Impact
As you watch Trip conquer hills, streams, and balls with boundless energy, it’s hard not to be moved. The heartwarming journey of Trip and his prosthetic-wearing pals highlights the transformative power of technology and compassion. This National Dog Day, let their tale remind us that even in the fast-paced world of innovation, the most remarkable impacts can be made by embracing those who tug at our heartstrings, both two-legged and four.
So, let the tech bells ring and the tails wag – for “The Invincibles” are here to show that when technology and love unite, the possibilities are truly boundless.
