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!
Libby Clark says
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..!!
