Cheers to the San Francisco Chronicle for running this great article by author Christie Keith, who discusses her experience with amputation for her own Tripawd, Raven.

We encourage you to register and leave comments about your own experience, since a few people gave her flack about her decision, and others didn't like the fact that the Chronicle put her story on the front page.
