Rescue Dog Thrived Thanks To Four Prosthetic Limbs

December 29, 2019

Richard and Elizabeth Howell adopted Chi Chi, a golden retriever, from South Korea in 2016, rescuing her from the dog meat trade. Her legs were bound and tied with wire when she was found in a dumpster when a butcher threw her out.

The only way her life could be saved was if her legs could be amputated.

But thanks to her rescuers, she was able to thrive with four prosthetic limbs.

Unfortunately, Chi Chi has since passed away from cancer. But with her time, she became a certified therapy dog and visited local hospitals, inspired thousands on social media, and was given the Hero Therapy Dog Award.
