What sort of hip bone is required for quadrupedal animals to locomote on their hind legs?

I am designing a creature that is quadrupedal but can run after prey on its hind legs. What kind of hip bone would allow for the excess stress to be put on it during bipedal locomotion? The animal is roughly the size of a mountain lion and weighs on average 100 pounds. It is a predatory carnivore. The planet it inhabits in very similar to Earth. It has an identical atmosphere that is 23% oxygen.
