He's not doing bad for a LARGE tripawd with lung mets. His grey muzzle gives him character!
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

You rock, Fortis! That bark is pawsome!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Holly, Zuzu and Susan
Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Love from Rosie (and her mom)

Fortis, you can't fool me with that big ol' bark, your golden heart still shines through!

Fortis certainly does get his point across - quite well I might add. I'm with Holly - you do rock Fortis! 
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
The first one woke Obie out of a dead sleep.... so Obie says woof back.
But I love the second one- a Fortis eye view of the world. Keep it up big man!!!

Fortis is adorable!
Typical man, though - the gray makes him look very distinguished. 🙂
Zack, King of Dogs, 1996 to 2010
Zack lived a full 14 years, even to the end.
The joy and memories he provided us will last a lifetime.
Surviving him is his sister, Izzy, a 12-year-old boxer mix quadpawd.
And the latest addition, Zula, an 11-month-old pit bull mix tripawd.
If the bark doesn't get you, his piercing brown eyes will! Love it!
Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end. On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

I love you Fortis! You scared monkeybutt with your bark!
I loved the head cam video shoot! I felt like I was getting a piggy back ride! Giddy up!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
So, Cemil is asleep and missed it, but Radzi answered...is still answering....did you hear him???
I knew it was just a video.
Mujde
You're awesome, Fortis. We love you (the guy version)
Radzi and Cemil
Cemil and mom Mary, Mujde and Radzi….appreciating and enjoying Today
Fortis, you would scare me off that is for sure! I love the grey on his face and his brows. Nicely handsome big boy. He is still commanding and still watching out for mom and dad. Fortis you sure are one in a million.
Elizabeth and Sammy

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us. Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.
