Excerpt: "Almendra was born without front legs, and instead of teaching her how to walk, the family that was responsible for her litter dumped her at the Mexican veterinary school, where I am a student. She was covered in open wounds from dragging her body around, and she could only move one of her back legs. The hand-off from her former guardian was strange. The woman gave her to me and said, 'Please take care of her.' Then she started crying and ran away! I was left there alone, holding this disfigured, bloody puppy in my hands, thinking, 'What is next?'" -Adhara Talamantes
