MY TRIPAWD BEAUTIE!

I|read the letter ‘Coping with a tripawd pet’ (November issue), and the request for other tripawd owners to share their experiences.My husband and I rescued a three-legged Saluki X Border Collie named Beautie when we were living in Dubai.

When she was about one year old, she got run over by a car and left at the side of the road. Luckily a passer-by picked her up and took her to the vet’s. Unfortunately, her leg was too badly damaged and her left hind had to be amputated. She was taken in by a dog rescue centre and stayed in a couple of foster homes, but nobody wanted to adopt her because of her three legs. That was until we found her! She is the most happy dog and copes exceptionally well on just three legs. We are now back in the UK and live in West Yorkshire.

We have been very conscious from the start that she will need more care and attention because of her missing leg.
