It takes a special kind
of heart
to love something broken
like a three legged dog.
Even more so,
the broken hearted one
so injured from before,
whose trusting soul
knew only neglect.
The one whose tail wagged
at remembered kindness.
The broken one
that still believed in love.
Perhaps that special kind
of heart
had a soft spot
where it had been broken too
and so it knew.

My first dog, Scooter, was three-legged dog. She had gotten her right hind leg caught in a hunting trap. How long she was there in it we never knew, but eventually she gnawed her leg off in order to be free,
