Puppy Who Lost All 4 Paws In Korean Meat Market Finally Gets Adopted
Hung upside down in a dark room, the 2-year-old dog was constantly beaten to make her meat more tender. Her legs were bound so tightly that her flesh got infected and started rotting. Being no use as meat, the pooch was left to die in a garbage bag in a dog meat slaughter region of South Korea. Luckily, she was found in time.
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!
When she fully recovers, The Howells are planning to turn the lovely pup into a therapy dog so she can comfort children and veterans who have lost limbs.

I don't agree with any animals being treated this way. Pigs, cows, chickens. It's great when there is activism to save dogs in Asia but then people allow animals that have been proven to be as sentient, as intelligent, as capable of knowing pain and fear suffer in factory farms that abuse and mistreat millions of animals every day in their own countries while judging Asians for eating dogs.
“She can pretty much do anything a real dog can do except go up the stairs”. She looks like a real dog to me, the fact that she's missing her paws doesn't change that.
Alec, that comment was made by a 12-year old. Just relax will you?

I bet everyone will be like oh, poor puppy, such cruelty!, while nobody cares that this happens every second to pigs, cows, chicken, etc... They suffer and feel pain just as much, but I guess it doesn't matter because they taste so good... If this message makes you feel anything, anger even, let me tell you what you're actually feeling: guilt.
Gabriela, being outraged at something terrible happening to one animal doesn't mean someone can't feel outrage about what happens to others. We don't have only one "care" to give out each day so just relax will you. I care about this dog, it's cruel and awful and it is a great shame. That doesn't mean I don't also care about it happening to other animals. It's like when people say "oh look at that bunch of protesters complaining about X, I bet they don't care that much about Y"...get a grip! Just because they have decided to make a stand about something awful doesn't mean that it's the ONLY thing they can ever have an opinion about ever again.

It's amazing, after the way that she was treated, that she can still love humans so much! What I don't understand is how what she went through is even remotely legal - in Korea or anywhere else. ___ I can understand if there isn't enough food for everyone, that people might eat dog meat to survive... but for this "butcher" to take a healthy dog, abuse it so horribly, and then toss it out like trash... SOMETHING in that has to be illegal. I'd like to hope that the people who did that to her would be shut down, and maybe even jailed. I know it's a different culture and all - but that cruelty can NOT be considered legal anywhere - can it?
I can't believe that they would hang the dogs an then beat them....imagine all the other dogs..lucky for that puppy
For example: Pigs have more intelligence than dogs. Stop cruelty and go veggie. :-)
Seems every dog I've ever met or read about that's super sweet, gentle & loving is the one that's gone through some of the most tragic and heart-wrenching experience(s). God really made something special when he made the dog; now there are some dogs with issues, no questions, but overall: seems even in the worst situations, dogs never stop loving, never stop caring. We could all certainly learn a thing or two about compassion and perseverance from dogs in my opinion.
No, not yet, as far as I know. But it is indeed a dying tradition.

And they make jokes of me because I'm vegetarian. I can't understand how can people be so cruel.
I'm vegan and I think that it's such a hypocrisy to be super upset with cruelty against dogs and then go and eat a hamburger. All animals are equal. At least there are some of us who get it.

We MUST stop this. We do not have the right to torture and kill other living beings.
...let's say that formally western farming doesn't involve beatimg an animal while alive to "make it's meat more tender", nor hanging it for days. It's harder to convince others to stop consuming meat, than it is to make them treat the sacrificed animals with humanity, and this is what I think that could be done in Asia.
I fully understand what Theresa Taylor is saying, however, every single life saved is absolutely wonderful. Yes humans are absolutely awful and the cruelty of farm animals is abhorrent however, at least the rest of the world, or most of it has at least taken cats and dogs off the menu. Do you have any idea how many dogs "work" for humans? Please give these sensitive, intelligent, loyal creatures a chance!
I hate humans. Who gives them the right to do all this. Is planet earth ours? Do v own it? How can v treat other species like this? Please help every stray whenever possible. Please please please. Together v cn mk a difference!!
And this is why North Korea exists...to punish South Korea for this evil s**t.
Omg.....I cant believe anyone could do this to another living being.
any dog eating people want exterminating off our planet, How can you kill and be so cruel to an animal that will greet you and love you in spite of your cruelty. Backward savage bastards hope they die
No animal, dog or not, should be treated like this. It's plain cruel to hang an animal and beat it, let alone dump it in a bin. Horrible.
There's nothing better in the world than what you did to save this loving dog...
humans are the most scariest monsters I have ever seen in my 22 year entire life. beating a dog in order to make its flesh tender? How cruel ! still look at the dog-so cheerful and aint afraid to love humans. We should learn from then.. :(
"People" who do this should be put through the same procedure. Only 5 times worse.
Almost every super gentle and sweet dog I've even seen,known or read about is always the one that's been through the most tragic and heart-wrenching thing(s) God sure made something special when he made dogs: despite our abhorrent treatment of them sometimes, dogs never stop loving, never stop caring, never give up. We could certainly learn a thing or two about compassion and perseverance from dogs
I just cant imagine me eating such cute animals like dogs and such. How could people do that without feeling guilty?
