Dog that walks on front legs inspires netizens

A DOG that walks on its front legs because its hind legs were paralyzed in a car accident has moved many people after a photo was posted on the Internet.

The dog, named Erduo, has been hailed as "Dog Faith in China" after the famous two-legged American dog.

Erduo's owner, a shopkeeper surnamed Hu, said the dog's hind legs were crushed by a car seven years ago when it was a puppy and abandoned by its previous owner, Modern Express reported yesterday.

Hu's uncle saw Erduo and brought him home. Instead of crawling with the help of a surfboard, Erduo learned to stand and walk on its front legs. Now Erduo is a famous runner in the neighborhood.

"He just loves running. He is so energetic," Hu was quoted as saying.

Erduo's story has touched many netizens. A microblogger identified as "Ms_Weina" posted on weibo.com that people should be as strong as Erduo and work hard to overcome life's difficulties.

Dog Faith became a sensation in America after her story became known and was used to inspire people in hardship.
