Great job! Your video will inspire so many. Ollie, you are so cute!

Golden retriever, diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2010 — right front leg amputated November 2010. He fought valiantly to stay with us; but a second diagnosis of osteosarcoma, this time in his left front leg, was more than our golden warrior could overcome. He loved his pack — and everyone else he met.
We loved him even more.
Thanks for the pennies, Sammy. They helped.
Wow! Over 500 views in 10 days! Ollie’s story is spreading! Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. Hoping Ollie’s story can continue to inspire people and make them smile. It makes all that he went through worth that much more!
Thank you all!
Jessie (& Ollie and Rusty)
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this video about your journey with Ollie!! It is so comforting to see the process from start to finish and how well he's doing 
That tail never stopped!! Our GSD, Sasha was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma in her rear leg and we've struggled for months with the decision to amputate but have decided to move forward with the surgery. Your story is very encouraging as we haven't found many people who are fighting fibrosarcoma. There have been times I wish the decision looked more black and white. I love reading all the stories and again, thank you so much for taking the time to put together such an awesome video
