Peter’s hind leg was badly damaged.
He crouched on the facet of the street, in all probability only a few ft from the place he had been struck by a passing automotive.
The sadhu (Hindu devotee) who known as for our rescue waited till the ambulance arrived. When he reached the hospital’s therapy desk his eyes appeared to say, innocently, with out judgment, with only a trace of doubt, “What are you doing to me?” however then instantly they softened to “However OK, then, I’m prepared!”
We handled him for ache, irritation and examined the fracture, which wanted a stabilizing splint. What a very good boy he was all through his a number of weeks of mattress relaxation. And oH was it value it. He saved up an entire lot of play, and Peter’s making up for misplaced time in radiant delight.
Angel with a damaged wing; Pet with a damaged leg. Similar distinction.
