More: Decker is a registered ESA, he loves water, long hikes, And chasing fish in the creek! He’s my best friend. He was just diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma and given a short time left to live. Everyday he still tries to take care of me and carries a stick home on his walk so I have a pile of love. No words can describe the struggles he has helped me to get through. Dogs are truly selfless and deserve everything positive we can give them. Life is precious, he’s taught to me to live for the small moments and find happiness in everything. I don’t know what I’ll do when he leaves me, but I know everyday I’m thankful I’ve had him in my life. He’s my hero.
