Richard Austin’s Animal Magic

A trip down memory lane and a meeting with a brave little dog who refused to let his back legs paralysis stop him from getting around the farm.

Chimba the little terrier has long since departed this earth but leaving behind him great memories for his owners and myself who got to take his photograph.

He was accidentally put through a combine harvester – where most dogs would have been killed, Chiba survived with his injuries.

Setting Chiba up for his photograph was great fun and he loved it, his oddcoloured eyes and his wheelassisted trot towards the camera summed him up perfectly.
