A double-amputee dog named Pihu is teaching kids about kindness in a new book

A Maryland dog is teaching kids about acceptance through a new book that's all about her.

She may look a little different, but Pihu is a rescue dog living a full life despite a few challenges.

Just like any dog, Pihu is always ready for her morning walk. But it’s how she gets around that really sets her apart.

Pihu is on wheels because she’s a double amputee. Jill Trail adopted Pihu from India. She’s a daisy dog, which means street dog. And she’s a lucky dog. She was rescued after being hit by a car, which caused spinal damage.

Several years ago we fostered a Dachshund mix named Angel who was missing her front right leg. She was originally found in an abandoned house with a crush injury to her leg. When we first took her in I was concerned about how she navigate the stairs inside and outside the house. That dog wound up being a bottle rocket on three legs. I couldn't keep up with her. We nicknamed her Dobie because she liked to collect and chew on our socks. For some reason she'd spin like a top where her leg used to be. She was a character.
