Police detective who lost a leg adopts a dog with prosthetics: 'She’s the one taking care of me'

A police detective from California has shared the heartwarming story of his adoption of a rescue dog with prosthetic legs.

Chappie Hunter, who lives in Alpine and works in the San Diego Police Department, told Fox News that he could relate to the 9-year old Shih Tzu. The pet’s owner also lost a leg.

Mr Hunter explained he felt kinship with the dog, as Chloe has “been through some trauma, just like me. She has her prosthetics, just like I have mine”.
