BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | US chihuahua wows Japanese crowds: "A wheelchair-bound chihuahua from the US is on a tour of Japan with his owner to tell his story of hope.
Wheely Willy was crippled and abandoned before being rescued by Deborah Turner and helped to gain mobility by using a specially-designed wheelchair.
Ms Turner and the 13-year-old dog are visiting schools and hospitals in Japan over the next two weeks to promote the book How Willy Got His Wheels."
Now this is just absurd. What the heck is so interesting about a crippled chihuahua?!?! Why doesn't the BBC also report about that three-legged dog -- the one living in New Jersey, owned by the Bradley family of Wife Swap fame?! If this is news, then so is that!
