Dog with no legs leaves Korea for new life in Arizona
Chi Chi, a golden retriever mix, hit the ground walking but not quite running Saturday at her new home in Phoenix.
The 2-year-old dog has spent the two months in a veterinary clinic in Seoul learning how to live with prosthetic paws.
Chi Chi was shepherded over by Los Angeles-based Animal Rescue, Media & Education, or ARME.
Ju Yu, who heads an animal rescue group in South Korea, said the dog was found among the garbage outside a meat market in the countryside.
The rescuers whisked the dog away to the veterinary clinic where it was determined that for any chance of survival, all four legs would need to be amputated.
