This 10-month old pig lives in a Chinese village.

She was born with only two legs but rather than kill her at birth her owner deceid to keep her and train her to walk.

“My wife asked me to dump it but I refused as it’s a life. I thought I should give it a chance to survive and unexpectedly it survived healthy” says Wang Xihai the pih’s owner.

‘I trained her for a while each day. After 30 days she can now walk upside down quite well’, stated Wang.

Wang says now his village is besieged by visitors everyday coming to see the wonder pig, and he is very proud.

‘I won’t sell it no matter how much the offer is,’ Wang said.

With her cataracts, lack of teeth, lolling tongue and shock of greying blonde hair – not to mention her showbiz pedigree – it is easy to see why the canine’s owner decided to name Miss Ellie after the Dallas matriarch. But the Chinese Hairless was not just an ugly face. She was a tireless charity campaigner, raising over $100,000 for the local humane society.

So, farewell then, Miss Ellie. The world is in mourning. Dogs’ homes across the globe fell eerily quiet yesterday, as they held a minute’s silence. “She was so bubbly and had so much to live for,” a bull terrier might have said. “When she scampered into a room, she lit up the faces of peculiar human beings who for some strange reason derived pleasure from the sight of a blind dog that looked a bit like a gremlin.”

Miss Ellie will be cremated,  It is not yet known if the “Ugliest Dog” competition’s organisers, Animal Planet, will postpone the contest as a mark of respect. She leaves an owner, Dawn Goehring, who touchingly took the canine to her own wedding, wearing a white dress and veil.
