[Opinions] she was named before she lost her leg (m)
I forget how she lost it, she was pretty old by the time I was old enough to remember her and to me she'd always had three legs. I think she was hit by a car, but it's possible she got in a bad fight; they lived in the western part of the state (Oklahoma) and there was talk of coyotes sometimes.

True, likely the Tripods I knew were born that way, or lost their leg(s) as puppies, and had their names changed. My daughter's newish second dog is named Run, short for a long kennel name, and it surely fits her;she has what daughter calls "a strong prey drive", meaning she'll run off after anything wild-squirrel, deer, fox, moose.
They haven't had her long enough to feel she'll come back to them(and she's 8 years old), so daughter's S.O. puts a GPS thing on her collar, to find her if necessary.
