“One of our family’s all-time
favorite pets was a dog named
Scampy. He was a black-and-tan,
rag-eared mutt, part cocker, part
Schnauzer, part whatcha-ma-call-it.
When he was six months old, he
was hit by a car and suffered a
broken hind leg, which was put in a
splint. Gangrene developed, and
the veterinarian recommended
euthanasia. My children, however,
full of love and affection for
Scampy, lobbied for amputation,
and their tearful motion, put to a
vote in a family council, was
carried.

To my pleasant surprise,
Scampy adjusted beautifully.
Like a tricycle with the wheels
reversed, he developed
excellent balance, and
although running in
unorthodox motion, he moved
amazingly fast. Squirrels
scattered when he flew off the
back porch as though
propelled by a pogo stick

Friends of the children called him
Hopalong or Tripod or Crip,
among other names, but Scampy
had a couple of advantages over
people: He didn’t understand
their jibes, and he didn’t know
that he had a disability. He lived
on courageously for many years,
doing the best with what he had.
People who can do the same are, I
am convinced, the winners in life.”
