WESLEY

"Rita", who is sixty years old, was diagnosed with Stomach Cancer three years ago. She recently stopped all of her chemotherapy treatment as it was no longer helpful. Rita lives with her husband, "Randy", and their four year old Black Lab, Wesley.

Animals have keen insight with a strong sense of their surroundings. Wesley knew about Rita's cancer one month before she was diagnosed. It came naturally to him. It so strengthened the bond between Wesley and his Masters. Amazing.


WESLEY

Wesley is a black Labrador Retriever
weighing a bit over fifty pounds.
He is four years old about now
maintaining his loving, puppy personality.

When Wesley was eight months old,
the family noticed some interesting changes.
Wesley would stay by his master’s side
softly nuzzling and sniffing her abdomen.

He continued to frequently go to her
sniffing and nuzzling all the while.
After four weeks of this behavior
she started to have stomach cramps.

She saw her doctor the following week
to have everything checked out.
Two days later she heard the news,
"You have Stomach Cancer."

They told her oncologist about Wesley.
About how he was behaving this past month.
The doctor wanted to meet Wesley;
so at her next appointment,
they walked him into the Chemotherapy room.

Wesley became suddenly overwhelmed.
He kept running from patient to patient.
He sensed the cancer all around.
They had to quickly walk him away.

Wesley is a highly sensitive dog.
It comes naturally from deep in his soul.
The family is amazed and love him all the more,
"He sniffed her cancer out
          Somehow he just knew."

Wesley.
