Witnessing animals like dear little Porsche overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds only empowers us all to rethink our relationship with the animal kingdom.
Think of resilience beyond measure, and chances are you are not thinking of
a little lamb born without hooves.
Think tenacious of spirit, and chances are you are not thinking of a little
lamb born without hooves.
Think the embodiment of sweetness, and chances are you are not thinking of
little lamb born without hooves.
Think who can make you revaluate what vulnerability means, and chances are
you are not thinking of a little lamb born without hooves.
Yet, when we combine all of these qualities together, we land at no other
answer than Porsche, the most endearing of little lambs born without hooves.
Despite this challenge, Porsche faced another setback in life: losing her
dear mumma on the very day they were to be surrendered to sanctuary.
With her little stumps bloodied and raw from her roughly ten days of walking
on the rough and frosty earth, Porsche’s determination to survive was as
tough as those stumps are set to become. Porsche drove herself firmly into
our hearts the moment we met. Parking herself there she now has us all at
her beck and call.
Witnessing animals like dear little Porsche overcoming seemingly
insurmountable odds only empowers us all to rethink our relationship with
the animal kingdom. Recognising animals for who they are, with their own
wants, desires and challenges, not the commodities society would otherwise
turn them in to, lands us at the irrefutable conclusion that all life is
precious regardless of the form it takes.
Porsche’s story is as much a testament to the strength and spirit that
dwells with us all, as it is to the power of kindness. Something we should
all think about.
Porsche’s story is as much a testament to the strength and spirit that
dwells with us all.
