"Our
Peaches is a poodle mix. She was found one day locked in a tennis court at a
college.
She had dreadlocks where curls were to be and sad brown eyes. The vet said she was malnourished and must have lived on garbage by the way the bones were protruding. So my daughter, Kristy, took her in, and with love and care they are the best of friends. . . and what a beautiful dog she is!
Now this loyal companion had no idea that once Kristy saved her life that very soon Peaches would return the favor. . . Kristy was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in June of last year. She has gone through chemo (12 rounds) and radiation (18 rounds) and through it all Peaches was her saving grace. Peaches would not leave Kristy’s side. Day or night, she let us know they are a team! When I would bring Kristy home from her appointments Peaches would greet her with a bone or other treat and talk to her as only she can. Yes I did say talk! It always made Kristy and anyone else around laugh. Laughter IS the best medicine! By her side she would stay.
They say a dog gives unconditional love . . . our loyal companion goes above and beyond!"
