Lukiss, five years old in this photo. I lost him to metastatic thyroid carcinoma on February 16, 2017, just over a month shy of his 7th birthday. I fought so hard to save him. I had another year and a half with him because I found the lump in his neck early and the surgeon was able to remove it. But it was adhered to his trachea and carotid artery. 🙁 Doing daily checks on our dogs is so important; I never would’ve caught that lump if I hadn’t done that.

He loved being outdoors with me and running on the Christmas Tree Farm we lived on. He was my heart and soul Dane. I miss him so much and still cry for him everyday.

Thank you for all you do.
