 A happy ending to sad story.

A squirrel who lost both of his front paws in an animal trap has been given a set of prosthetic wheels.

The squirrel's name is Karamel. It was caught in a trap set by hunters in Turkey.

A young man rescued him and brought him to orthopedists at an Istanbul's University for help.

Doctors there then designed a set of wheels for Karamel. They are currently training him to use them.

It's taken some getting used to. But they say Karamel is slowly getting better.
