Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Ohhh we are HUGE fans of Lucca, she so deserves that award! Here's a review of the awesome book about her life:

Why Lucca is “Top Dog” in the Tripawds Nation

We've tried making connections with her and her handler but Lucca's highly in demand! We won't give up though. She's amazing.

Made me choke up and get all teary eyed.

Active 10+ Pyr mix suddenly came up lame with ACL tear in left rear leg. Scheduled for a TPLO but final pre-op x-rays indicated a small suspicious area, possibly OSA, which could have caused the ACL tear. Surgeon opened the knee for TPLO but found soft bone. Biopsy came back positive for OSA. Became a Tripawd 9/18/14. Carbo6 with Cerenia and Fluids. Pain free and living in the moment. Crossed the Bridge on 7/12/15 after probable spread of cancer to her cervical spine. A whole lifetime of memories squeezed into 10 months. Here's her story: Eloise

I should have figured she was already on your radar!!! I saw the story a couple times yesterday on FB but actually got to hear the news report when I got home from work. I was definitely in tears! She's amazing!!!

Well you know how we're suckers for those pointy-eared, three-legged Shepherds! She's a doll.
