Dog left in the garbage is now a therapy dog - Catherine - 11-04-2017
This is a real story of hope and possibilities. A young golden retriever was left in a garbage bag outside a Korean dog meat farm. Her feet had been bound and they had to be amputated. She was brought to the USA where she was fitted with four prosthetic feet. She has been adopted by a loving family. Now she is trained as a therapy dog and is giving back to the community.

It is sad what happened to Chi Chi, but she doesn't dwell on it and neither should we.
This remarkable dog has such a strong will to live and love that she has overcome anything bad that was done to her.
As a therapy dog her very existence sends a strong message that good will prevail and we can overcome anything.

Thanks to the rescuers who found her, and thanks to the family who took her home, ChiChi is doing so well! She has such a lovely face.

They gave her new feet, but her legs are short so she looks like a short golden. It is really cute.
She will be able to help people who are struggling with handicaps. Chi Chi has overcome so much and she is really happy about what she has now.
Her rescuers saved her because she has such a strong will to live. They initially thought she was too damaged to survive. Her own spirit inspired them to try. I am sure she will inspire many people to go on who are discouraged by their injuries.
