Angie and Tom adopted Angie in April 2018. She was in a shelter near them.
Angie became a "heart dog"-- and most of us know what a gift that is.
Angie was a wonderful addition to the family.
In December of 2020, Angie was diagnosed with lymphoma after a lump was found on her neck.
She was part of a clinical trial
at University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine to fight the cancer.
Anna said, "
this research offers a potential for extending her life. It is also meaningful as not only will this research help other pets, but the technology will apply to human cancer treatments as well. We have been so touched by the knowledge and compassion of the research team."She was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma at Christmas time last year and with the generous support of some very special people, she had treatment. She was doing so well until a few months ago.
She was brave and protective. She thought she was a big dog. Even though Angie didn't make it, the research she was part of will hopefully help other pets and people survive. Run free now, sweet girl. You will celebrate the holidays at the Rainbow Bridge.
I know sweet Angie will be so missed and what a courageous girl she was with her trial medicine at the Vet. hospital.
ReplyDeleteHer life was full of love with Anna and it was full of purpose for the world of Cancer for animals and humans alike.
Angie- A Peke Hero !
