Dominick the Two-legged Dog
Dominick is a greyhound who only has two right legs, after a tragic accident. This loving and spirited dog gives hope that adversities in life can be overcome through determination and the willingness to adjust.
It doesn't slow him down at all, does it?

(43,888 posts)Do not surrender even when defeated,
and do not be a slave even in bondage,
trembling with fear advance bravely,
and attack with fury, though badly wounded.
Be as stubborn as a rusting nail,
that refuses to yield though old and ruined,
and do not envy the peacock's plumage,
that hides in fear at the first noise.
Be as a god that never cries,
or as a devil that never prays,
or as the oak whose mighty canopy,
needs of water but does not beg it.
Even when it rolls to the dust,
let your head scowl and bite,
and scream for vengeance.
- Pedro Palacios Almafuerte
Argentinian poet 1854-1917
