From the Detroit Free Press: Earlier this month, a caramel-colored pup with big ears was brought into the Dearborn Animal Shelter after she was found running -- or trying her best to run with little more than stubs for front legs -- down a street in the city.
Soon, she'll get her own set of wheels to better get around.
The Chihuahua mix -- named Victory by staff at the shelter -- has deformed front legs that give her the appearance of a kangaroo. A fund-raising campaign to buy devices to help her mobility exceeded its goal by more than threefold -- and drew international attention.
"The fact that she has this disability and she pushes right through it I think is a victory," said Elaine Greene, executive director of Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter, the nonprofit group that operates the shelter.
Dearborn veterinarian Linda Schrier said Victory has a congenital defect called radial hemimelia, and parts of the bones in her front legs are missing. Greene said the dog's elbows appear to be fused, so she can't fully straighten her front legs. On the end of each leg is a tiny bit of a toe pad and a single toenail.  http://www.freep.com/article/20130225/NEWS05/302250094/Donations-offer-2nd-chance-dog-deformed-legs
It's nice to see people go and try t help this little dog.  Let's hope these same people will put forth the effort to save other dogs who are sent to the animal shelters, only to see them die because no wants to adopt them.
As far as our family is concerned, we have three rescue dogs who are joy to our family.
