A few months ago, one of my best friends, Oskar, an American Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier was given away to a new home. Oskar and I spent our entire puppyhood and growing years together; we would hang on the beach nearly every day, spend weekends together, and mostly, we enjoyed long walks with each other. Our own special downtime was meeting for a football match every Saturday afternoon at the local school. But it’s the walks I miss the most: after I had my rear right leg amputated, Oskar and I got together for our treks, but the walks took on a different meaning: where once people had been afraid of Oskar - who is the gentlest and cleverest dog imaginable – they were now afraid of me; some people even walked to the other side of the street because they thought I would give ‘em a disease or something. I quickly began to understand what Oskar had gone through all his life – ignorance is our own worst enemy – and I held my tail high and walked even closer to my best friend as we went on our (very missed) walks together. But then Oskar left the neighborhood, and we miss him terribly. So even though Daddy is far away, I would love him to be my new valentine, as he and I together can teach everyone that dogs of all breeds and mixes, all shapes and sizes, disabled are always man’s best friend. So Happy Valentines to all Dogsters and their humans!
