Jill is a 14-year old border collie that lives on the farm. She only has three legs.
She lost her left hind leg eight years ago when a young stallion that she had been provoking kicked her. Lenny, the farmer, took her in for three operations, but finally they had to amputate.
She gets around OK on three legs, but now she has back problems and she’s deaf.
She likes to lie on the cool floor of the barn and watch the baby pigs through the slats of their stall door. Every time they move, she follows them with her eyes.
