Qian-Qian is a 2 yrs old mongrel who has NO fore limbs. I read of her plight in one of the chinese evening news and had contacted the reporter and recently in touch with her foster. With the foster is another dog (Bei-Bei, will also submit her on wish upon a bone) who's both hind limbs are also not working.
Please help spread the words and VOTE for Qian-Qian.

Thank you for your vote for Qian-Qian, her wish was granted by Wishbone and soon she'll be trotting around freely (with supervision of course!)
With the inspirational story of the abandoned two-legged dog, Qian Qian, Wishbone hopes to dig deeper into underlying issues of the pet community – about the importance of pet responsibility and ownership in this instance – by fulfilling the life-changing wish of Qian Qian to have a wheelchair that acts as a replacement for her front legs.
In 2008, Qian Qian’s original owner was shocked when her beloved dog gave birth to a two-legged ‘monster’ that was “not adorable” in any way. With this, and citing that she was incapable of caring for a handicapped dog, all attempts were made to abandon poor Qian Qian who was struggling with her movements as a puppy. Fortunately for Qian Qian, she did not have to fight her battles alone.
When Jenny Tan, Qian Qian’s current owner, heard about Qian Qian’s impending plight, her first thought was to bring Qian Qian home and provide her with the best she can afford –unconditional love and support. With help and guidance from Jenny Tan over the last two years, Qian Qian coped with her disability and moved about by hopping like a kangaroo. But with such disability, Qian Qian is inevitably putting excessive pressure on her hind legs that could potentially lead to serious problems in future.
After much analysis and research, Wishbone will be specially importing a custom-made wheelchair from US. This wheelchair will serve the purpose of supporting Qian Qian’s torso, thus lightening the burden on her hind legs. Stay tune to our blog for updates on Qian Qian. Please also help to share this story with your readers.

After waiting for slightly more than a month, Qian Qian’s wheelchair is finally here! We will be fixing the wheel chair onto Qian Qian next week and she will be able to walk normally for the first time!
Jenny, owner of Qian Qian is as happy and excited like us when we broke the news to her. The early arrival of the wheelchair means that all our wishes for Qian Qian to lead a normal life would be fulfilled soon.
We would like to give special thanks to Ms Anonymous (she refused to be named) who kindly contributed a small token for Qian Qian’s wheelchair and Eddie’s Wheel who help with customizing the wheelchair and delivering it earlier than expected.
