More: Jake is a rescue and one of the sweetest dogs we have owned. He is currently taking chemotherapy for transitional cell carcinoma and prostate cancer. He has developed renal failure in the process of treatment. Thru it all he has been the bravest and strongest dog I have ever met . He is 10 but acts like a healthy 1 year old . He has taught us a lot about enduring what life brings good and bad.
