In China, there is a two-legged stray that has given birth to puppies, and even with her disability she still cares for her family and makes sure none of her puppies are in harm’s way.
We know animals are resilient, and many times they adapt to their environment and survive as best as they can.
- My whole family laughed when Grandpa’s will gave my cousins millions in cash and houses and gave me nothing but a plane ticket to Riviera, but when I boarded that first-class flight and a flight attendant handed me a sealed envelope with my name on it, the invitation inside made their laughter feel a little too early.
My name is Jade Parker, and I had just turned twenty-six when my life changed in a way no one in my family would have […]
- My mother was sentenced for my father’s d3ath, and for six years no one believed she was innocent. Then, just five minutes before it was too late, my little brother leaned in and whispered something… and everything changed.
Sofía grew up believing her mother had caused her father’s d3ath, since all the evidence seemed to point in her […]
After all, there are millions of homeless dogs in the world that struggle every day to find food and shelter, but it amazes us how homeless dogs with disabilities are also able to thrive and survive life on the streets.
The momma is known as Shi Bao, and she wasn’t always homeless. Her owner abandoned her and she took refuge near Kouguan railway station in Datong, Shanxi Province.
Unfortunately she lost her hind legs in an accident. Locals believe she was either hit by a car or run over by a train, but either way, she survived and has been fending for herself ever since.
Shi Bao recently gave birth to healthy, beautiful puppies. Every day, the two-legged momma guides her babies around the train station while they scavenge for food. The heroic mom makes sure her children are always near her and far from harm.
We know animals in China are not as well protected by laws as other animals in other countries, but we hope that Shi Bao and her babies find a good Samaritan or animal rescue organization that would take them in put an end to their lonely and harsh days on the streets.
All animals deserve a loving home and Shi Bao has proved she is worthy of true love and a happily ever after.
China has an estimated 130 million stray dogs – many them victims of a growing urbanisation that has seen millions of people move into high-rise buildings with little room for pets.
It’s a tough life on the street for many of the dogs.
