Reminded me of my 13/14 year old black lab named Cooper, he has bone cancer but he's still livin', he can't see real well, can't hear real well either, he mostly relies on his nose now days to get from point A to point B. But by golly I'll tell ya'll what, he's as faithful to me today as he ever was...ALWAYS hangs by me no matter what. In his younger days he jumped the fence a few times...I saw him pick a couple of fights in the vets office, I even had to pick up his sorry tail out of jail one time...but all told he's been a good ol' dog for sure.
