The power of the "impossible" being turned into the "amazing"

Recently Oprah showed amazing animals on her show. One dog had only his two hind feet and he walked upright like a human.

At least once a week I get an email from someone forwarding this story with photos of the dog and how amazing the dog is.

I agree the dog is amazing. He’s healthy, happy and inspiring.

The emails are only telling part of the story. There is a loving and powerful part that made this possible.

When this dog was a puppy, the vet said to put him down because he would wear out his chest skin dragging himself along the floor.

It was his human caregivers that would not give up on him.

The humans taught him how to walk on his hind legs.

They gave him encouragement and helped him when he struggled.

They treated him like he was special and rewarded him often.

His companions do not see him as different they do see him as special.

He doesn't see himself as different - he sees himself as himself.

It shows the power of what can happen when someone sees in another being the potential instead of the problem.

It shows the power of what can happen when someone loves enough to help another up to their feet.

It shows the power of the "impossible" being turned into the "amazing" .
