Happy Dog of the Day to you, s*u*p*e*r*s*t*a*r Roscoe! What a heartwarming, inspirational, life affirming story is yours, sweetheart! So many heroes in your amazing tale, beginning with your guardian angel, your Mom; your dedicated and committed healer, Dr. Becky Hanback; and most of all, YOU, Roscoe! Your Mom never lost faith in Dr. Becky, Dr. Becky never gave up on you, and you never gave up on life! Talk about the healing power of love and positive thinking!

Sometimes, when it comes to dealing with the health issues of our companion animals, the threshold for "letting go" is set not nearly high enough by some in the veterinary community, I believe. As a nurse and animal lover, I'm thrilled to learn of yet one more totally committed vet who refused to give in, or let go, before it was time; before every humane, last avenue of hope was explored! And just look at you now, happy and whole once more, living life to its fullest with your final, forever family!

And speaking of your Mom, I can't help but believe that your daily forays "across the street" to visit her were more than mere serendiptiy; that a higher power had a very important job in store for her down the road...

Congratulations precious Roscoe, our extra special Sunday honoree! We're thrilled to have had the chance to get to know you and your wonderful Mom, and the amazing Dr. Becky. I wish for you a very happy, fun filled day celebrating your "top dog" status with your 7 pup siblings, Major the Cat, the 6 winged ones and fishies! And of course, wishes for many, many more healthy, love filled years with wonderful family! (And hopefully only happy, "well visits" to Dr. Becky!) Hugs and kisses, woofs and wags to you Roscoe, from me and my girl, Star!
