Three-legged dog friends Jerry has met online and in person
Anyone who thinks older dogs can’t handle amputation has never met Sami the Bone Cancer Hero!
This senior dog know how to party. Losing a leg hasn’t slowed her down!
I recently got together with this pretty lady for a walk in the park and we had a blast. Being a Los Angeles city park we didn’t get to run off leash. But we sure wanted to…
Sami is nearly fourteen years old! And she just had her amputation a couple months ago. I think she’s doing great, and will only continue to get stronger.
Well, I made it to Texas, just in time for a pawty in the pawk! My pals, Murphy, Hudson and Luke held a fun BBQ in Austin. This laid back event was just a warm up to the kick off of their 2000 mile walk to Boston next month. It was a perfect, sunny day, and a bunch of us tripawds had a rollicking good time!
Oh the humans also had a lot of fun too. There was great music courtesy of Barenaked Family and Friends, good treats thanks to Bark for Peace, and even raffle prizes of my personal favorite Synflex Glucosamine supplement donated by the kind people at the Synflex company in Florida.
Tripawd BBQ Party in Zilker Park Rescheduled for Sunday February 17
My people have been busy working with some tripawd pals of mine to put together our first book of three-legged dogs. We are proud to announce that The Tripawds Book is now available!
This full-color hardcover photo book includes the inspirational tales of more than twenty canine cancer survivors and other three-legged dogs.
The stories of these tripawd heroes and tributes to beloved companions who have passed are sure to amuse, encourage, and enlighten any animal lover. Pet guardians facing the difficult decision of amputation will find the insightful stories and included tripawd tips and resources especially helpful.
But wait, it gets better… you have your choice of two special editions!
We recently heard from my new pup pal Jake who I saw playing with a cute tripawd on YouTube.
His person Tina was kind enough to share my story on her Pet Star website.
She also had a touching story to tell about some three-legged friends and Nemo the Husky who lost his battle with cancer …
The Frappr Bone Cancer Dogs Map shows the location of osteosarcoma survivors and three legged dogs around the world.
Video tribute shows Jerry howling with Frankie on YouTube for three legged cancer dogs everywhere.
My people just heard from Rocky’s person who is one strong individual. She and Rocky are both troopers! Just check out her story and you’ll see why…
My 8 year old dog, Rocky, a German Shepherd mix, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in July 2006 (right before my husband went back to Iraq w/ the Army). It was awful news, and I was crying for a long time…
I had his leg amputated w/in a week, and put him through chemo. They got the cancer early! He is cancer free, and doing GREAT. I’m so happy he’s a fighter and is with me. He’s my special boy – my other 2 dogs are females. 🙂
Here’s some pics! Thanks for sharing … It’s nice to know we aren’t alone ..
We just heard a great story from Presley, a new tripawd. Presley turned 10 years old on January 15, and her Mom says “She’s doing well since her leg amputation in October due to osteosarcoma, with some days better than others.”
Here is Presley’s story, as told by Michelle:
“Although the surgery itself could be considered a success, we’ve had several challenges and setbacks with her treatment. She did not respond well to chemotherapy. After her first round of chemo, she ended up in the hospital with a fever, so we discontinued that. She has also rejected her supplements. At one point she was taking 7 different supplements twice daily, but we’ve had to discontinue most of them due to upset stomach, runny stool or because she won’t take them.
