Every once in a while a story comes along that just makes you feel good. This is one of them.
Calamity Jane is a Golden Retriever who lives in Fort Worth, TX. About five weeks ago, Calamity was found on the side of the road suffering from a gun shot wound. She survived, but required the amputation of her front left leg.
Two weeks ago a family and some of their friends found themselves victims of a violent home invasion. Held at gunpoint and pistol-whipped while the intruders ransacked the house, the hostages feared for their lives.
For whatever reason, one of the thugs flipped on the outside light and this caught the attention of neighbouring Calamity Jane. Seeming to sense that something was wrong, she began barking loudly. Believing that there were people outside with the dog, the robbers panicked and fled the home with 3-legged Calamity Jane hot on their heels!
Calamity gave chase, but never did catch up to the hoodlums. But she had put an end to the 45 minutes of terror her neighbouring family had endured.
The story doesn’t end here, though. While having her leg amputated, the vet discovered that our 3-legged heroin was pregnant.
Calamity Jane is now the proud new mom of seven puppies.
A few days ago somebody made a comment that having an animals limbs amputated was cruel and inhumane. He felt that this would seriously reduce the pet’s quality of life and shouldn’t be done.
Maybe he should meet our 3-legged Calamity Jane!
