The story of the boy who wanted to buy a puppy.

The story of the boy who wanted to buy a puppy.
I came across this short story of boy who wanted to buy a puppy, but he wanted a certain puppy. I found this to be a very interesting and unbelievable lesson to be learned, from this young man. I just had to share it, with all of us here.......One day an eight-year-old boy went to the pet store with his dad to buy a puppy. The store manager showed them to a pen where five little furry balls huddled together.
After a while, the boy notice one of the litter all by itself in an adjacent pen. The boy asked. "Why is that puppy all alone?"
The manager explained, "That puppy was born with a bad leg and would be crippled for life, so we're going to have to put him to sleep,"
"You're going to kill this little puppy?" the boy said sadly while patting it. "You have to realize that this puppy would never be able to run and play with a boy like you."
After a short conversation with his boy, the dad told the manager that they wanted to buy the puppy with the bad leg. "For the same amount of money, you could have one of the 'healthy' ones, Why do you want this one?"
How many of us would have reacted like this young man, strange that things have to happened to us before we can accept people for who and what they are.....we do have a lot to learn from one another..

Yes very true Nathan, rather sad but very true how life is and how we look at situation and how we judge without understanding what we have just done.....Takes a small boy to remind us of what value in life is really all about...

it is sad to say , but until one experiences the obstacles in life no one really knows how it feels to be different. People label people according to what they see on the outside and forget to look at the inside of a person to get the full benefit of who they really are. The only way to see the inside of others is to get to know who they really are.

PS. The puppy here had his life saved by this little boy.
