The life of the inspirational quadruple amputee dog (Video)

The three-year-old dog was born in South Korea, where she was destined for the dog meat market. But her legs had rotted due to abuse, and she was tied up and thrown in a trash can. Luckily, she was found in time and treated at a veterinary clinic. All of her paws had to be amputated to save her life but her eyes still sparkled with hope. “She survived and the day after surgery she was trying to walk. She was smiling and wagging her tail,” said Shannon Keith, president of Animal Rescue, Media & Education.

The pup was named Chi Chi which means ‘loving’ in Korean. Having spent 2 months recovering at a veterinary practice in Seoul, the Golden Retriever mix was transferred to her new forever home in Phoenix, Arizona where Richard, Elizabeth and Megan Howell were waiting to give her the love she deserves so much. Chi Chi will even get prosthetics! They knew that it was a big responsibility to take her in but had no qualms about helping a pooch in dire need.

Heartwarming rescue

This brave canine recovered quickly and settled in with the other pets rapidly. The couple and their daughter, Megan, admired her resilience, cheerful disposition, and empathy. Sensing that she would make a good therapy dog to humans who lost limbs, the Howells had her trained until she got certified. She visited hospitals, veterans in physical rehab, residents of assisted-living facilities, and very young children. Watch the video, we let you discover this heartwarming rescue for yourself.
