Awwwwwww!
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

That's our little Harper. My friends, Beverly McCartt and Tom Nowicki of Hip Dog, are helping with her hydrotherapy at Hip Dog. Pro bono....I'm really proud to know these folks. They are amazing, are good and wonderful people and friends, and I have seen my share of miracles under my own roof thanks to their compassion and care.
GO HARPER!!

Does anyone know what happened to the man who threw her away? Was he charged with animal abuse?
