Maximum’s Courage - A story of canine courage and strength

Cancer is a disease that has affected thousands of peoples’ lives in one way or another. When you hear the word cancer, instinctively, you think human, but this killer lies in wait for not only humans but our most beloved companions as well. In large and giant breed dogs, Osteosarcoma , also known as bone cancer, is a very common and very aggressive killer. As in humans, canine cancer is merciless and has no boundaries. Both the young and the old are affected and in the canine species, the younger dogs are at risk for the most aggressively spreading cancer.

19 months earlier, if you would have told me I would be on this journey with my best friend and most loved Black Labrador, Max, I would never have believed it.

His journey has not been ordinary and he has had many hurdles. If not for the wonderful doctors at The University of Madison Veterinary Teaching Hospital, his chances of being pain free and having good quality of life for any period of time would be nonexistent. With their help and support, as well as the support of our many Tripawd friends, we have chosen a path for Max that will allow him to live comfortably until the cancer no longer allows it. Today we are dedicated to Max’s quality of life and cherish every day that we have with him.

Canine Cancer needs awareness and research, and I pray that Max’s story will bring hope to those people and their dogs that are also being affected by this horrible disease. We have been blessed to have Max in our lives and have learned many things along the way.

Since the day Max picked us as his forever family he has always been a very active and energetic dog...

We lost Gator on my husband’s birthday. John adored Gator just as much as I and we took his passing very hard. The day after our loss, John and I went for a ride, we cried, and spoke of all our beautiful memories.

My husband was questioning how God could take something so precious away from us way so soon. We adored our dog, so did our neighbors and our family. Through our tears while driving home, we observed a huge beautiful rainbow overhead. John had remarked that he didn’t remember the last time he had seen a rainbow and it ended in the direction of our home. In that moment, I remembered a poem called Rainbow Bridge that was given to us when our Golden retriever had passed away many years ago. MORE --->...
