Note from dog
Lately, the three of us Goldens have gotten to discussing some serious topics. Grant loves to talk politics, and Tori's big on religion, so back in the dog house we recently had a chat about the bible. Yeah, that bible. Here's what we chewed on for a few hours . . ..

Let’s get right to the point: dumping senior dogs at a kill shelter is a widespread, egregious practice. It’s even worse when that senior dog has been subjected to a life of neglect. So, meet Oreo, rescued by AMA Animal Rescue in Brooklyn. Her story is both tragic and triumphant.

When AMA’s heroic crew pulled Oreo from the kill shelter, her body and feet were covered in so much hair that she could barely walk. Her stomach was riddled with masses all along her mammary gland chains, which they knew would require major surgery. Once she was shaved, they discovered that the skin on her paws was badly infected and oozed pus.

Oreo was in excruciating pain when she walked, and her overgrown nails were making her struggle that much greater. Her mouth was in horrific shape — red and swollen. But after a few weeks of intensive care, she was ready for her surgery where her mammary gland chain was removed. While under anesthesia, she was also spayed and her dental work was taken care of. It was an extensive list of procedures, but she recovered beautifully! The biopsy from her tumors did come back cancerous, but the surgeon was able to remove the margins, which was such great news!

Oreo now lives a pain-free life and she seems determined to enjoy every minute of it! She’s quite affectionate and loves the company of her humans.

YUP, SHE’S A HEARTSTOPPER!
