Fuji only wears the fin, which weighs about 2kg (5 pounds), for about 20 minutes a day in case it falls off or is eaten by other dolphins.

It is made out of the material usually used for Formula One race car tyres. Sponge rubber was used for the parts which come into direct contact with Fuji's skin.

I saw a doggie wheel chair in Argentina. The little dog was strapped in and pulled himself along with his front paws!
