What is one inference you can make about the boy in the video?
10
The fact that the boy is using crutches rather than a prosthetic means his loss of a limb was likely fairly recent, and he's still trying to come to terms with it. This explains why he's inside playing video games on a beautiful day (hiding from the world, losing himself in a mindless activity), as well as his angry reaction to his mother's gift of the three-legged puppy - he knows full well what she's trying to do and he resents it, which is why he has a such a strong negative reaction at first.
