This little cutie is my Benjamin.  He is a beagle/shepard mix and is now 3 years old.  I rescued him when he was 8 weeks old.  I had him only a few days when he all the sudden started vomiting over and over.  I called the rescue I had adopted him from and even though it was a Sunday, we rushed him into the vet.  The vet made a special trip for us. When we arrived,  I didn’t want to let him go but they took him from me.  They ran a test and we waited for the results.  It seemed like forever before we got the results.  In that time I found out that 2 of his litter mates, his 2 sisters, were in that very hospital with Parvo.  I was terrified for him.  Then we got the results….Positive.   I was holding him and before I knew it, they took him from me and brought him in the back room. The next few days were very tough for him.  One of his sisters had passed the next day.  A couple days later, the other one passed.  I called everyday, several times a day, to check up on him.  Each day he was doing a little better, and after 5 long days I got to bring him home.  He was a little fighter.

He  is now 3 years old, and we just had him in the hospital for 2 days.  He had a problem with his digestive track and they thought they were going to have to do surgery.  I told him that he needed to fight, just like he did when he was a pup. I hated to leave him there, but I had no choice.  If he wasn’t better the next morning they were going to have to do surgery. So I told him to fight, and that I loved him and I would see him soon.  The next morning I called the vet, and found out he did great over night!  No surgery!  Once again, he was a little fighter.  He is an awesome dog and my special little boy.  Thanks for reading our story!
