Molly's story turns into a parable for life in post-Katrina Louisiana. The surgeon changed his mind. He saw how the pony was careful to lie down on different sides so she didn't seem to get sores, and how she allowed people to handle her, a smart pony with a serious survival ethic. A human prosthesis designer built her a leg. This is Molly's most recent prosthesis, which has a smiley face embossed in it. Wherever Molly goes, she leaves a smiley hoof print behind!
