Piper
Breed: Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Barking from: Adelaide, SA
What's up dog?
Since being diagnosed with Osteosarcoma over a year ago & subsequent amputation, Piper has become a symbol of hope. She is the most tenacious person that I know.
Every single day is acknowledged since amputation, because, put simply, only 2% of dogs diagnosed with Osteosarcoma survive one year after surgery. Today is day358 on 3 paws. Next Thursday, we are having a public celebration for Piper, on her favourite beach. A Sandala created by artist, Sue Norman. This will be a celebration of her life while she is living and it will also be a message of hope for anyone living in palliative care.
