    Belly, the puppy born without arms, is the most beloved dog on the internet right now

    Belly, a tiny tan Chihuahua dog born without arms, has quickly become TikTok’s newest obsession. Despite her disability, Belly is full of life, rolling around, snuggling with her foster mom, and even learning to use a tiny mobility scooter. Her journey, documented by foster mom Hannah Sand (@hannah_sand24) in 34 TikTok videos to date, has captivated millions, with fans declaring their love for the little pup in viral videos. Meet Belly: The dog with no arms Belly first appeared on TikTok on Feb. 13, 2025, in a video by her mom Hannah Sand. The puppy caretaker adopted her from Rags to Riches Animal Rescue in Tampa, FL, along with her three foster brothers. The other pups are from a different litter, with Belly the chihuahua being the odd one out for more than one reason. @hannah_sand24 I only have Belly until Monday and she goes back to the rescue for vet appointments. #puppies #fosterpuppy #fostermom ♬ original sound - hannah_sand24 "Belly was born without her two front legs," says Sand in the introduction video. "And she's so tiny. I don't even know how to hold you." As a disabled dog and a massive cutie pie, Belly gets a lot of special treatment, including a mobility device. Sand first demonstrated the wheelchair, which she made herself out of common materials, on Feb. 17. Later, Sand tried adding two more wheels for stability, but it turned out to be too big for the tiny puppy. On Feb. 27, she introduced a new wheelchair, made by a man named Jeff, which seemed to work out better for Belly. When she's not practicing with the mobility device, Belly loves to squirm around on Sand's chest in bed and bite at her fingers in between getting belly rubs until she passes out. Sand demonstrated this for fans in her most viral video, gaining over 9.5 million views in one week, as well as over nine million likes. @hannah_sand24 This is what Belly’s nights consist of. She plays on my chest until she puts herself to sleep nuzzled in my neck? @Rags to Riches Animal Rescue #rescuedog #fosterpuppy #puppy #puppytiktok ♬ original sound - hannah_sand24 TikTok can't get enough of Belly Few social media posts get as much love as videos of a dog without arms, and Belly is no exception. The number of people in love, crying, and declaring that they're willing to die for this little pup numbers well into the thousands with each post. "I wouldn't get anything done because I'd be kissing all over that baby," said one user responding to her most viral video. "She's so precious. God bless her."

    XL Bully pup saved from death row after dog-loving lawyer steps in to save her

    AN XL Bully pup was saved from death row after a dog- loving lawyer stepped in to save her. Legal history was made as seven-month-old Fudge was spared a lethal injection — despite missing a deadline for an exemption certificate. Solicitor Sharon Collins took up owner Margaret Keely’s case after she said she was unaware of the new law when she bought Fudge. The mutt was in peril because she was too young to be spayed in time under strict new rules. Sharon, who runs her own law firm in Glasgow, said: “I listened to Margaret’s story and just felt I had to help in any way I could. I took the case for free because she’s a responsible owner just trying to keep her puppy alive. “I’m a big dog lover so I started working the case. And I realised it was the first of its type in the UK.” Applications for exemption to legally keep an XL Bully closed last July, meaning Sharon had to apply for a court order granting a stay of execution. Fudge was able to get the required veterinary treatment earlier this month. The dogs must be kept on a lead and muzzled when in public, and be insured, spayed and microchipped. Failure to comply means a dog can be seized and put to sleep at any point. The new law came into force after a series of violent and deadly attacks involving XL Bullies. Fudge’s owner Margaret, 53, from Glasgow, said: “She is now fully spayed, registered on the exemption list and compliant with all the new laws. “I no longer have the stress or worry about her being taken away — and it’s all down to Sharon.”
