He grew up with dogs, and doesn’t consider himself a horse
Naturally, this horse shouldn’t have been born at all. However, people had other plans. There’s nothing special about Peabody. He’s just too small for a horse.
To speak plainly, Peabody is not a horse, but an unviable creature, doomed to a quick death. He was too short that couldn’t even reach his mother to eat milk. He also has crooked legs, a crooked jaw, problems with the gastrointestinal tract etc. He used to be a creature that couldn’t live without human help. And the human help arrived just in time.
Peabody is only 40cm tall – the same size as Penelope’s bulldog.
Vera Faith, an animal lover, was interested in Peabody. She took the horse from the shelter, right before putting him to sleep, and took him to the other part of the country with her. The woman raised the baby properly, and even helped him learn to run. The jaw grows and straightens, so he will soon stop sticking out his tongue. But veterinarians are sure that he will never actually grow up in size.
Surprisingly, Peabody doesn’t even want to be a horse. Actually, he doesn’t know what horses are, as from the first day of his life, he has been living with dogs. He learned to be a dog, rather than a horse.
