Well a few days ago I got some bad news. The picture at right the big guy who is my best friend may be really sick once again? However for the last few days he has seemed his old self, so maybe, just maybe we have been able to hold back the illness for a while.
Porter, that's his name, Porter has had more surgery then most people I know? He has had enough mass cell tumors to fill a litter of dogs. My ex-wife and I had done everything we could to stop the Damn cancer as best we could! He has actually had three operations to remove seperate instances in the last 12 months. It always happens to the "Good Ones".
I was talking with one of the Nurse's at the Dog hospital that Porter goes to, and she said that, and I couldn't agree more. Porter is an amazing Dog, he has over come quite a bit, and has served as a sort of good will Ambasador for his breed. He is a Pit Bull and a Lab Mix. Porter has never had an angry moment, never been mean or vicious to anyone. It is kind of funny because when people meet him, they are sometimes a little spooked. They are spooked because of the stories that the media continues to publish about these Vicious Pit Bull attacks. And this is what everyone wants to focus on. You almost never hear the good stories about this bread.
Well, Porter is a good story, he has always been a great Dog. When he is at the Dog park playing with the other dogs and someone new starts to walk into the park area, Porter for some reason has taken it upon himself to stop playing and go over to every new person that walks in the play area and first he greets the owner, then he greets the Dog. We jokingly call him the Mayor. It is quite funny, because it is just something that he started doing on his own? It is this reason as well as the multitude of other odd behaviors that I call him my best friend!
