Tripawds come in all sizes, and so do dogs who get bone cancer. Today’s Tripawd Tuesday story spotlights LeBeau the Beagle Tripawd. Newly diagnosed with osteosarcoma, he is currently going through chemo and kicking cancer’s butt for hopefully a very, very long time!
Meet LeBeau, the Beagle Tripawd Beating Bone Cancer
His dad Jim just wrote to us to share his Tripawd Tuesday story. We know you’ll find this pup as adorable, and inspawrational as we do!
LeBeau is a 9 year old beagle/best friend, who had a front left leg amputation on 8/8/2022 due to bone cancer.
He is going through chemo now to try and extend the 10 months life expectancy provided by his vets/surgeon. He is only a handful of weeks post amputation and you’d never know a thing happened. Same happy, friendly, loving sweet lil guy he’s always been.
Here is a video of him swimming at a dog park in Dallas, not as graceful as he was before and uses a life vest now, but gets to continue one of his favorite activities (video is of first time using life vest). Hope this helps others see what a normal happy life tripawds can live, I know when we learned he needed amputation, the stories of others helped me.
Jim
