Bender wasn’t your typical bulldog that sleeps most of the day.  He was high energy and dedicated to playing tug at all times.  Unfortunately, he lived a life plagued with surgeries.  Bender had multiple surgeries for entropion and one for bladder stones.  He never let the surgeries slow him down and bounced right back every time.  At the of age 5 he met his biggest battle, invasive cancer in the elbow that caused major nerve pain.  To save Bender’s life, OVC recommended we amputate his leg and give him a fighting chance.  The amputation went well but resulted in rare post amputation nerve pain.  This required multiple medications and an experimental medically induced coma to reset the pain centre of the brain. Around 30 days post operation, Bender started to feel himself and once again focused on tug of war.  11 months later the cancer returned in his lungs and despite our best efforts, he crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  We miss him every single day and continue to tell his story to help other dogs.

My beautiful girl, mother, grandmother, great and great, great grandmother.

Always remembered by everyone who knew her.
