Freckles

Found on the side of the road limping. A red and white Terrier mix. Had he been hit by a car?

No, unfortunately not hit by a car. Worse. About two years old with degenerative joint disease, which would only worsen and someday soon he would not be able to walk.

So the little guy named Freckles, by the clinic staff, was put on pain medicine. His fate was unknown. Difficult to adopt. Unable to give a problem like this to someone.

Freckles didn’t know he had a problem. His pain medicine worked and, though he ran like a bunny with a hop in the back legs, he had a lot of life in him.

He stayed at the animal hospital for about a year. They were not sure what to do with him until the right family showed up and adopted him. They would give him a life, his medicine, and a chance.

When he showed up later for a refill of his medicine he wore a smile and a red and white sweater.

Freckles – unaware of any problem.
