I'm sorry that you and Pugsly are going through this. What does the vet say about the prognosis?

Pugs has been with us for six years. Our son rescued him from a home where he was very negelected. Pugs is a thearpy dog,who was much loved by autistic children.

Like all bulldogs,who ever he meets,loves him.

Good for you

yes, Bulldogs do make great therapy dogs. Something about that mug, makes people smile.

Pugsly is a lucky dog, first he was rescued from neglect and then he has lived his life with you. Can't get better then that.

Enjoy him, he still has a lot of smiles to create. Hugs to the patient

I've not been through this with my bullies but I wanted to tell you that I wish you many more good days with your guy. He sounds like a very special boy.
