What a neat story. It reminds me of the Chicken Soup for the Soul story about the puppy who had a deformed leg and a little boy wanted him and the farmer who had him told him that he wouldn't want that puppy because that puppy would never be able to run and play with him like the other puppies and the little boy insisted and when he stood up and held the puppy the farmer noticed that the boy had braces on his legs. Another perfect fit!
