I was leaving the office the other day, feeling a bit beaten up from the stress of the business that day. Maybe feeling a bit sorry for myself that I was leaving the office at 9 PM……it was cold, I was tired, I felt like I had no life…..and I saw someone walking a dog….I did a double take. The dog had three legs. It’s right front was completely GONE….but it was wagging it’s tail and seemed so happy and content. It’s owner was at a red light. When the light turned green, the owner walked along and the dog walked briskly right along, wagging his tail and seeming very content with the world…..it made me stop and think. How lucky I am to be working till 9 PM at night. How lucky I am that I was walking with both legs to my car and that I would be warm soon and that I would be driving home to a house where I had food. It’s really tough out there, and this happy little dog made me feel happy too.
