Nick says
My sister and I bought this puppy for my mother on her birthday. She picked him out About 6 years ago. He’s this beautiful dappled, regal, smarta$$ed, protective, energetic, funny, handsome, fully realized personality.
But while bonding with him while sitting in the middle of all these puppies… my mother noticed his tail. It wasn’t like a normal tail. Towards the very end it bent almost like 90 degrees. But looking at it with a little distance, you couldn’t tell. So from that day forward… he was known as “Bentley”.
But he turned my mother into a laughing machine! He changed her life in so many ways. And when he started doing The strangest thing… My mother finally went to the doctor.
Turns out that his gentle digging or kneading on her stomach, was his way of saying there’s something wrong here. She had cervical cancer.
He dug for a couple months before she went and ended up progressing to a later stage. But because of his willingness or stubbornness to make my mother laugh every day. She said she grew stronger from him and of course her stubbornness, and support. She beat her cancer and Bentley is still making her laugh with newly acquired material, each and every day.
I totally wish we could post pictures of our beautiful family members!

That is so interesting… I had a female Rat Terrier that did the exact some thing 14 years ago.. It turned out I had stage 3c uterine cancer… Dogs can smell cancer.. They just have a hard time making you aware of it.. The dogs that can get the information to you are the special ones..!!

I think a name like Fighter, Camilla, Grace, or Warrior would be great names for the fur baby. I hope she is still doing well!
April says
My dogs name is Bama and she too is a fighter. Shes a mini, just turned two. She really was my little boys pup but he passed away last year. He was a huge Alabama fan , and so were the ppl we got her from. So her name became Alli-BamaBoo Jackson lol. Shes called Bama and/or Bama Boo. Good luck with the name you choose.

Hi I’m very interested in a dashund but the only cons we have is price. Me and my family have never owned a dog before but have had many pets before so we r aware of the needs.
We are though afraid to leave the new pup alone as no one will be there most of the time,we may be getting a dashund in the six weeks summer holidays. But we are afraid that it will Be to cruel.we do although have a huge park with everything a puppy could dream about. We just need to deal with the financial issues.
