A mechanic checks a car’s brakes by putting it on a lift. A farrier shoes a horse by picking up one willing hoof at a time. But camels can’t be lifted and they are unwilling. To patch an ulcerated foot pad you have to hobble the front legs and truss their rear legs tight, tie their mouth closed and the head back to the tail, then push them over on their side. Masood is just getting down to work.
