Hope, a one year-old Maltese puppy with only nubs where her front legs should be, is finally getting a chance to see what life is like with a little mobility!
The custom designed harness is attached to independently moving arms that are actually attached to model airplane wheels, and with a just a bit of push from her hind legs she’s able to move around almost as she should as opposed to the hopping she previously did.
As she gets older she’ll have to have another device made for her. Make sure you check out the rest of the article linked above – she’s too cute to miss!
i would so much love to take care of and give a forever home to one of these Chi’s born without
front legs. I just rescued a kitten with only 3 legs that was going to be put down.Do you know of any chi babies needing a loving forever home???Thank you
Hi Debby! I don’t know of any specific chis in need of a home, but I do highly recommend checking out PetFinder – http://petfinder.com. You can search by location and by breed. We found our one of our chi babies through there four years ago and had a great experience.
