Ever since I first met Dorado nearly two years ago, I’ve wanted to know about his past. He came with very little history from his owner when he was donated. All I knew about him was that he had been a racehorse for part of his life, and then spent about four years of his life munching happily on grass in a pasture. While that history may have been alright for some people, I wanted to know more. The problem? Only three characters in his tattoo were clearly readable.
Before I adopted him, I’d had several of my fellow staff members take a look at it and see what they could come up with. The answer was the same from all of them: “Sorry, Erica, I have no clue.”
