A sleepy technician came out with the news.

“It’s broken. The right front leg. A clean break. The doc is setting a cast on it now. Everything else checked out fine. That’s okay, right? You do want to keep the dog, right?”

“Of course.”

The technician shrugged. He had the name Tony stitched on his shirt pocket, but he did not look like a Tony.

“What else would I do?” I asked.

Tony waved it off. “Some people hear that it costs $400 to set a leg versus $50 to put a dog down . . . well, they opt for the cheaper choice.”

I could have said that such a dilemma posed a terrible and inhumane choice . . . but I didn’t. I just nodded. What if you didn’t have $400 or what if $400 was all you had to support your family for the next month?

Animals caused tough choices. I guess people did as well.

“The doc will call you when he’s done.”
