More: Charlie, also known as Chuck at the fire house, is best in his element when going on hikes and playing fetch. He trained to be an urban rescue dog with his fire fighter human dad. In March 2020 Charlie was diagnosed with T-Cell lymphoma; an aggressive canine cancer. The submitted photo is from August. Despite having cancer and undergoing many rounds of chemo therapy, Charlie did a 10 mile hike through the Porcupine Mountains and couldn’t stop wagging his tail. Being activate and outdoors is keeping Charlie strong and still present with us.
