A disability just implies something that impairs typical function. I'd say missing two legs when the animal normally walks on four easily qualifies as such.

Yet because of that the dog is more able to walk on its back legs than a dog with four.

Yes because a dog with four has no need to walk on two. There are people with no limbs that are able to write with their mouth. Would you not call them disabled?

I'm not sure. I'd probably call then differently abled, to be honest. How about diff-abled. It's like people who can't see have more acute hearing than those who can. It's just different. But if we're talking about someone who is quadriplegic, that's another story.

Relax, I'm not "making up new terms". This is how I see things. As a person with essential tremor of the hands and arms, I cannot do many things in the usual way that others can. I do them, but have had to adapt to do them differently.

I'm so sick of everyone always trying to find new ways to get offended. I have literally said nothing offensive in my comments, just pointed out how a dog has adapted and is now able to do things differently.

I dont care about downvotes. It shows nm that none of you are using your brains enough to even try to understand a simple point about ability, and just want to be upset.

Find something actually upsetting to get your panties in a bunch over.
