>its last owner had its legs removed, but not for safety but because he took them off by means of torture
>it was later abandoned and picked up by a shelter
>this is where you found him and took him in
>the shelter used a tazer to reset its memory but it still cries from time to time
>you think its thinking about its absent legs but cant remember where they went
>you named him Tang due to him orange coat
>Tang rolls everywhere and his litter box is just a mat made of a diaper like substance
>because of his rolling Tang really only needs you for food and water
>its been over a month and Tang still doesn't talk much expect when asking for food
>you try to play but he just looks away and keep a sad look on his face
>one day you ask him why he never plays and is sad
>of course no answer and he looks away
"im your daddy, you can tell me anything"
>silence
"do you want new friends?"
>silence
"how about i make some spaghetti tonight and i take you to the park to meet new friends tomorrow?"
>after awhile Tang nods and you begin to prepare the spaghetii

>the next day you and Tang are at the park
>you set him down in a group of fluffy ponies who immediately begin their babbling of "new fwiend?" and "pway?"
>you sit on a bench and watch them
>unfortunately tang continues his silence and looks at the ground
>you begin to worry this wont help either
>then one of the fluffies say "whewe weggies?"
>at this Tang begins to sob
>why cwy? no cwy! huggies make betta!
>they begin to swarm him with hugs but the crying doesnt cease
>after a while the fluffies give up and observe tang as he continues to sob
>then a fluffy unicorn puffs his cheeks and says "new fwiend no wike huggies! new fwiend dumb!" and kicks tang, rolling him onto his back
>you rush over and pick him up then begin to walk home hoding your sobbing fluffy

>when you get home you place your fluffy down and pet him until his sobs become soft hiccups
"im sorry that fluffy was so mean, he didnt mean what he said"
>Tang continues to look at the floor and sniffle
