For the past six months I have noticed a new man in my neighborhood walking his dog – a small sandy-haired canine. Because he started walking the dog during the winter months, I could only see the dog’s head and top of it’s body as the snow covered his legs. I watched mesmerized by the dog’s jerky gait.
But one day when the snow had melted and the man walked past with his pet, I finally saw the dog hobbled by on only three legs. It broke my heart. Although, I know it’s not unusual for owners to amputate an injured dog or cat's leg and the animals do just fine, it makes me terribly sad. And so today, when once again I saw the man and dog, a little pain tugged at my heart-strings.
