It really aggravates me that sometimes when I go out in public or post pics of my dog online people think it's funny to make comments about my dog is messed up/broken/handicapped/invalid/disabled.
She isn't and I love her dearly. Please don't say mean things about my dog. :C thank you

To me a missing leg on a dog means someone care enough to do what they could to save the dog, instead of putting them to sleep.
My own Piper was brought in to the vet to be put to sleep because of a broken leg, the vet cared enough to talk the people into signing him over to him and instead of putting him down, he fixed the leg.
People who comment on her being broken, just show they world they are heartless people who would throw away an animals life.

That's exactly what happened to Jaime. Her old owners brought her in with one leg hanging on by mere shreds and a shattered front leg. They signed her over to the vet and said they didn't want her back. :(
Literally all that's different from her and any other dog is that she needs glucosamine supplements for maximum health and takes slightly shorter walks than other dogs. She's still just as happy to run and play as any four-legged pup and it's my responsibility to let her enjoy life without being overly babied.
I take her to a local dog park sometimes, and the majority of the people there don't even notice she's missing a leg. The few that do normally just say "Oh, your dog is limping". Most people really aren't rude about it, but the few that are really ruffle my feathers.

My cat was a wild cat once, rescued as a kitten, she had an infected gash, a clipped ear (and was spade, a sign she was part of a program that catches and re-releases wild cats to help control the population) as well as a jaw that must have been broken and healed crookedly. And she is one of those things in my life that I wouldn't know where i'd be without her. My little Pearl is awesome, and so is your doggy Bee!

My dear, sweet little Binky was a feral catch-and-release too. Apparently she just would not do the "release" part, just refused to leave the cage. No one would take her because of her clipped ear, but she managed to get into a no-kill secondary shelter. My father adopted her as a present to my mother, which made no sense because my mother wanted a dog. But Binky bonded with me, and she is looming over my keyboard and nuzzling my face at this very moment.

I read through a few of the comments and got a better understanding (beyond the missing leg) from them and your position. Give that sweetheart an extra treat from me, please. Also, there is only one way an animal become broken, and it requires no missing legs, no injuries whatsoever. When the heart or soul is broken, something dies inside. That is what broken is. I can tell from how you talk about your dog that she is everything but. She still has energy, heart, and compassion, right? That's what makes something whole.
That said, this is now on my favorites for the message it presents. Keep drawing from the heart.
