When Strength Is Blind
Animal Scene|July 2017

Hercules. A name from ancient mythology. A name that suggests strength.

Reg Hernandez
When Strength Is Blind

The strength that is capable of overcoming any obstacle. Actually, the 12 labors he had to go through to become immortal. Or something like that.

Basically, it’s a name that is apropos for the Shih Tzu (sire) and Japanese Spitz (dam) mixed breed owned by Sheena Rose Pelayo who placed second in Animal Scene’s 2016 My Pet’s Life competition, October edition.

As with the Greek/Roman demi-god of myth and lore, Hercules—the dog— was born with, well, challenges that would dictate his life. And the strength of character that this dog has in overcoming his disability is nothing short of amazing.
