The Dog That Learned To Stand On His Own Two Feet:Dian Dian Was Born With No Front Legs.

This dog was born without his two front legs. Dian Dian has overcome his disability and learned how to walk. The tiny dog now spends his days trotting around on town hind legs due to the perseverance of his owner.
Cen Lan lives in Southern China's Guangxi province.More after the cut.



A neighbour's pet gave birth to six puppies, and one of them surprisingly had no forelegs.
'He was one of six puppies in a litter and the healthy five were adopted, leaving him alone,' she explained.

'I could read from his eyes that he was disappointed and he was eager to walk.

'I then adopted him without hesitation.'

According to Cen Lan, Dian Dian initially moved like a seal on the ground, pushing his body forward with his hind legs.But Cen Lan was determined to help the tiny dog learn to overcome his disability.
She came up with a training plan to help Dian Dian learn how to use his hind legs.

'I used food to train him to stand up, even for a second, she explained.
Gradually Dian Dian leaned how to stand on them for a longer duration and then he took his first tentative steps forward.
