It's been a while since I glanced through the National Canine Cancer Foundation website but I've come across some inspirational stories that I wanted to share with the Tripawd community.

Here's a snippet of Rogan's story and the link to the site....

Dog with amputated leg moves again with help of wheel

A devoted dog has been given a new lease of life after beating cancer and having a leg amputated – and after being fitted with an adorable wheelchair . 

Chocolate Labrador Rogan was given just two months to live in August, but owner Kirsty Johnson, 27, refused to have the 11-year-old put down.

There's pictures of Rogan in the article with his wheelchair .  This was an option mentioned to us the day we put Leland to sleep because the CCL went out in his remaining hind leg.  We just couldn't fathom a large dog having a quality of life in a wheelchair .  With Rogan's story it shows that it is possible for large breed dogs to manage on wheels just like small dogs.

Loved that story!  Will share on FB among friends and family.  Those that are not dog-people don´t understand all we do to help our fur babies and what we go through to have them by our side as long as possible.

Our awesome Golden Boy was diagnosed for OSA in April 2014 in the proximal humerus, front-leg amp on 05/20/2014. Finished chemo (Carbo6) on 07/10/2014. Ongoing treatment: acupuncture + K-9 Immunity Plus ( 3chews) and home-cooked no-grain diet.   Stopped Apocaps because of liver issues.   Liver issues: controlling altered enzymes with SAM-e and Milk Thistle.  October 17:  started having seizures.  Taking fenobarbital for seizures.  April 18: started prednisone.
