Hey guys, I just want to update this list with a VERY worthy book called "A Dogs Journey" by Bruce Cameron. I just finished reading it and cried my heart out. It was tears of happiness, so if you get a chance, check it out 🙂

Elizabeth, Sammy's mom

Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10,

leg fractured 8/27/10,

leg amputated 8/30/10

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

Ted Karasote just wrote a new book called "<a href="">Pukka's Promise: The Quest for Longer-Lived Dogs</a>" with lots of information about dog cancers as well as feeding your dog the best foods and helpful info on extending your dogs natural lifespan. I don't think the story of his dog Pukka was as well touched upon but the book has amazing info on how kibble is made and tons of well researched information on dog food and how there is an explosion of cancer in the canine world. </p> <p>I was kind of suprised when I read through the help organizations that Tripawds wasn't listed! You guys were my lifeline through all of Sammy's journey and then Titans.</p> <p>I wonder if we could send him a link or something?</p> <p> </p> <p>Elizabeth, Spirit Sammy's mom</p> <p>(yes, I am able to write that now)</p> <p><div style="clear:both"></div></p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPostSignatureSection' style="width:inherit;margin-top:80px"><div id='spPostIndexUserSignature98672' class='spPostUserSignature spCenter' style="max-height:55px;position:absolute;bottom: 0;width:inherit"><p>Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10,</p> <p>leg fractured 8/27/10,</p> <p>leg amputated 8/30/10</p> <p><a href="http://sammyandme.tripawds.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://sammyand" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://sammyand</a>.....pawds.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us.

It's the kind of book that makes you reflect back often on it as you see a certain dog, or when I look at the mountains.
