In 2008, Gigi Jankowski worried that her adopted greyhound, Dexter, wouldn’t be able to run again. He needed one of his back legs removed to stop the progression of a skin condition that was eating its way up his limb.
“Everyone assured me he would adapt, but I was concerned he wouldn’t be able to do what he was bred and loved to do,” says Jankowski.
She needn’t have fretted. This was Dexter on his first post-surgical run, about a month after the amputation. It’s what pure joy looks like:
