We call them Blacky (while my mom pronounces it as Bleki :D). He appeared that day in front of the house, when my family was enjoying time in living room. We found out that he only has three legs. Later my mom got information from groceries sellers around the housing complex that this dog was dumped by his owner after he got accident which made one of his legs paralyzed.
Poor dog.
He never barks or chase people or cats. Well I only ever heard his bark once after months he lives around here. He barked when there were two stray cats, trying to steal his food which my mom gave him. He didn't even attack them, only barked to scare the cats. However since as far Blacky has been friendly to cats, those wild guys only stopped and stared. Usually Blacky comes in the morning and night. It makes my mom used to buy chicken legs or chicken heads and boiled them for several minutes. He doesn't like dog foods, even he prefers to eat my cats' dryfood, which I put on the garage daily for the stray cats who like to visit my house and eat. Actually I really want to adopt Blacky eventhough I'm a bit scared of dogs and till now even I never touch Blacky directly. Only talked with him like when I talked to my cats. I want to cure his leg and maybe give him to animal lover community so they can find the best parents for him there.
Anyway, I'm still letting him to be a freelance dog because I'm worried if his owner will claim him again after Blacky's leg is healed. And that moment will be...ah actually I don't want to kill anybody. If his previous owner really did dump him, then obviously he was not a good one. And he doesn't deserve to get Blacky back IF he got healed.
The awkward thing is that till now I even don't know where Blacky sleeps. He always disappeared when we were trying to follow him. Such a mysterious dog but clever enough to ease his traces :P
Nowadays, I don't know why, he only comes to my house in the middle of the night, just to drink and check if any food left on the tray. My mom often put some chicken chops or any remaining foods there. But Blacky usually only had drink and sometimes wait on the porch. I started to love him even we are not close to each other. His face looks humble and friendly. And by seeing his 3 legs, we can feel his spirit and optimism.
I wish I could put a pendant on him and mark him as mine. So no one will dare to hurt him. And I wish I could just meet his previous owner and make sure if he/she already dumped him completely and won't claim him.back. Then maybe I would be freely ask help to the animals rescue team to heal Blacky and well..in the end I'd be willing to let someone adopts him, as long as he can gets happiness in his rest of life :')
