I have nine dogs (mom, dad and their 7 pups, now 5 years old) & four cats. When the pups were young mom managed to lead them through a hole in the fence they'd made & off they went onto a cattle ranch.
They're Australian Blue Heeler/Border Collies.
See cow: make cow move.
You can imagine they thought themselves in heaven. Until the owner of the cattle took a shot at them, & managed to shoot off mom's front leg.
The pups ran home right away. Mom took hours to get home, her leg dangling by a piece of skin.
Were I the thing in the bible, I'd have just watched her bleed to death.
I scooped her up, put her in the car, drove like a maniac to the vet, & she is the sweetest most loving three-legged dog I know.
I look at her & I feel love & I feel guilt as she wouldn't be in this position if I'd done a better job building the fence.
How anyone can believe a god can feel less compassion for us than I feel for my dog, is beyond me.
