They say that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Do not sour, do not get irritated, do not think about what you would have done if instead of lemons life had given you something sweeter, tastier, more valuable. This girl applies this better than anyone.
Whatever life has brought her, she not only accepted it, but she made it part of herself, and she walks with it as if someone had given her the best gift. She was still a puppy when a car hit her and left her almost paralyzed in the hind legs. She was saved when it was too late to fully repair her injuries. She underwent surgery twice, spent months of recovery, stayed still, had physical therapy, and her back legs reached a point where they are functional, but they are not as they would have been if she had not been hit, and may never become perfect.
She doesn't care. She has been through incredible pain in her life for months, and she doesn't even remember it. He runs for as long as he can, until she gets tired, and she looks like she is flying. She walks makes heads turn, as she is tall and beautiful. But it's not even beauty that draws you to her. It is her smile, her pure joy, her confidence in the beauty and the lightness of life.
We named her Ellera, which in Italian is a girl's name and means cheerful. And after giving her an Italian name, we just call her "the Italian". And it suits her.
The Italian is a dreamy and good creature, with a big head that you can't stop stroking and the attitude of "this is who I am and I am perfect". She looks like he is at the same time a naïve puppy and a wise dog. It has been fostered in a home, and she is impeccable. She can become the perfect pet. Basically it's as if she's born for it. To be perfect, and to be a pet, a friend, a companion, a beloved one.
