Ashur the Three Legged Persian Leopard, Finds True Love

Ashur lost her leg when her father attacked her at the zoo where they lived in Budapest, Hungary. Could be that Ashur stayed out too late one night with her boyfriend and didn’t call in, thus worrying her frantic father to no end? So much so that Papa leopard took one of her front legs off in hopes of keeping her in line?

Then suddenly the fairy god leopard in the sky arranged for young Ashur to be teletransported (by train, I suppose) to Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo where miracles happened, the way they often do in the Bible. Ashur healed and, in the end she got along just fine making do with three where most have four.

Now Ashur has a new protector, Max. Max is 17-years old. Ashur is just 3. In leopard years, they are much closer in age, we hope, less Ashur’s father come looking for Max. Someday soon perhaps there will be cubs.

Don’t you love happy endings?
