Cuddle a lamb

Who could resist the chance to cuddle a lamb, our grandchildren certainly could not. So down to friend Anke's we went this afternoon for a spot of animal cuddling.
The dog Anke has temporarily adopted until a home can be found, from the streets at Lez, an hameau near to us was there and what a friendly chap he is.
As soon as we saw him we recognised it was the dog that about 6 months ago on our way past Lez we saw him in a bad state dragging a hind leg obviously having just been knocked over by a car. We stopped to try and catch him to no avail, he was running scared trailing his leg. We went immediately to the vet to report the incident and see if anyone had reported their dog lost. No one had, so we then went back and continued the search. We never found him and nothing more was ever heard about him till now.
He now walks mainly on three legs, but just occasionally uses his fourth, he can still jump higher than Bonny as we saw him leap over a gate to follow Anke.
Anke is going to take him to the vet and arrange to have him castrated and have his hip looked at.
Our children adored him and their phones are now full of pictures of him, Bonny also thought he was a friendly chap. Well done Anke for that rescue, I think in a few weeks when he is house trained you will have given a loving dog a start of a good life.
