The sad metamorphosis of Џими
A dog's life in Macedonia is not about roses, moonlight, romance and being cuddled to death. It's a real dog's life. Let's pick the story of one dog as an example. It's about Jimmy. Nobody really knows what the dog's name is. In fact, nobody really seems to know whether the dog has a name at all, but giving him a name like Jimmy, or "Џими" in Macedonian, raises the likelyhood that Disney will pick the story up some day. You'd better get napkins at hand.
Џими has his own territory where he is known by people for being friendly and where he usually is left alone. At a restaurant in his area, people accept him and every now and then he's able to pick up a few crumbs of food. He's provided by water in bowls, rather than drinking it from the gutter in the street. So far, it may look like Џими lives a better than average dog life. However, as it goes in a dog's life, Џими has to stand up and fight for rights or territory every now and then. Unfortunately for Џими, he's a little of the small kind. His legs are only 20 centimeters and the nose to tail-tip count doesn't get much further than 75 cm. And... Џими has a long tail. On one of Џими's last fights, his position as an underdog didn't grant him victory. Nor did the fight result in a draw. Џими lost. And he lost bad. The last time I saw him, Џими looked onto the world with only his right eye. The left one had disappeared. Џими nowadays also walks around with something on his face that resembles a genuine faul smirk that would fit perfectly on any of the Corleone's in the Godfather movies. Џими grins. And it appears that Џими grins painfully. When today he tried to pick up a piece of bread, the grin was explained. He wasn't able to pick up the bread with his jaws like he used to do. He wasn't able to open his mouth. His mouth wasn't able to move at all. Џими had to force the bread through the teeth and then suck on it untill he was able to swallow it. At a closer look, it looks like Џими didn't put up a fight with another dog or a cat. No, it looks like Џими lost his fight from a truck.

So I decided to check out your blogspot and came across this heart-breaking story about the dog. Now I feel bad for the poor thing. I do hope no more puppies get hurt!
