Three-Legged Greyhound

It is a good thing to say that a rabbit has "three legs"; it is not the same thing for a dog to have three legs.

A family rescued two Greyhounds. A few years later, one of them developed cancer of the bone. His mama faced the decision of having him put down or having his cancerous leg amputated to prolong his life by 6 months or so; his mama opted to for amputation. With only three legs now, the Greyhound adjusted well; he walks and exercises just like a normal dog with four legs. It has been a year since the surgery, so far no sign of the cancer coming back.

This is a very lucky dog and it is a wonderful story; "three legs" is not so bad for this dog, the alternative could be worse.
