I carried my dog Dougie to the car, his whining echoing. I was too busy engrossed in the baseball game to notice his barking and I have no idea how long he was trapped in that wire fence while I cheered and gorged on chips.
I drove to the veterinarian at warp speed and hoped not to get pulled over. My heart pounded, but I kept my cool and talked to him. “It’ll be okay, Dougie.”
I slammed open the door and yelled: “Help him!”
“Don’t worry we’ll do everything we can to save Dougie’s leg.”
I sat and waited.
