Bob Englehart writes of his cartoon (in part):
Veterinarians went to extraordinary lengths to save Barbaro. If he'd broken his leg in any other race where there weren't so many people watching, they would've put him down that day.
It's very rare that a horse can overcome a broken leg. I don't know of any that have. This whole episode should be a teaching moment for people who think otherwise. It was sad to see Barbaro hobbled with misshapen legs, crippled for life. A horse like Barbaro only wants to do one thing. Run.

Having rescued and said goodbye to so many dogs and cats, I most sincerely agree. They have relied on me to help them when it was their time to go.
