Those who responded earlier may not be able to fully appreciate his situation and I think they have judged him harshly. Last night, my dog was trapped under the wheel of my truck. It was awful! My dog, Ginger, is a beautiful hunting dog and a beloved family pet. We are now faced with a decision: amputate her rear leg or put her to sleep (the amount of tissue damage, hip displacement and bone damage is significant, as is the pain, and it might be more humane to put her to sleep when we are merely guessing as to her prognosis). I am torn up inside trying to make this decision, especially knowing that Ginger loves to be outdoors, running the fields, looking for birds. I wonder if she will be able to enjoy life like that again! This story has gaven me great hope and inspiration. Thank you, Keith...and way to go Tess, but you'd better watch your back. Ginger will be running the fields soon! :) I understand Mr. Kremmer’s great sorrow and the difficulty of his decision.

That said a lot about the owner! He was going to put Tess down because she lost a leg and that she wouldn’t become a champion hunting dog. That said a lot about the owner!

Upsetting that someone would run over their own dog with mearly the loss of a leg, and the dog still remained healthy, but then consider putting the dog down. He owes that dog a life full of fulfillment and joy. He is now doing the right thing by "allowing" (sarcastic)Tess to live, so she can prove what a real champ she is regardless of having 3 legs. GOOD GIRL TESS! And Thank you Mr. Kemmer for staying by Tess's side. I am happy to know that Tess showed her owner that his inclination to put her down was so wrong.
