    That is the best news I have heard all day. Time for the big wigs to get with the program and realize there is more to life they 'their rules' and 'their ways'.

    WTG little man you can at least have some joy with your buddies until the good lord calls you to his side.

    Can she afford to feed a great dane and a lab mix? Maybe whoever gave them up should have brought chihuahuas.

    You know sometimes you have to show a little humanity. This is a 6 year old little boy who may not see his seventh birthday. His wish was to have the love of a dog in his life and 2 people granted him that wish. I don't think they would offer a huge dog without thinking about the cost of feeding it and besides with all the media coverage this story has gotten those dogs will not need for anything I am sure. I can bet they will be given the best of foods and vet care if needed and when the time comes and if mom wants to give them up there will be people lining up around the block to give them fantastic homes. Sometimes just sometimes the world and people can surprise us and unfortuately it usually takes something as sad as this story to see it.

    A 6-year-old boy dying from cancer may not have to give up his two dogs.

    A spokesperson for the Calgary Housing Company, Dale Stamm, says his staff are doing everything they can to assist Parker Anderson and his family.

    Anderson and his mother Alex live in a Calgary housing unit and accepted the dogs as a gift even though their complex has a no-pet policy.

    Stamm says Calgary housing has some units were pets are allowed and the company is trying to help the family find a space so they can keep the two dogs.

    “When Mrs. Anderson advised the Calgary Housing Company that she needed her dogs for therapeutic reasons, the company immediately started to work with her on a long-term plan to preserve her tenancy,” says Stamm.

    The plan may also include finding a housing unit that is close to the Alberta Children’s Hospital for Parker’s treatment for high-risk neuroblastoma.
