Dying Dog Poems

After the cancer diagnosis, the veterinarian said, "I think we can beat this." What came next was five years of medications, surgery after surgery, Cushings Disease, two more cancers, and the slow decline of a beloved pit bull. Dying Dog Poems explores the impacts of canine cancer, managing hospice care, and the decision of when to choose compassion and let go.
