More: Diagnosed with a severe TVD at 4 months, Lucy’s life changed. Daily meds and a significantly shortened life were part of the unhappy prognosis. We were crushed. But Lucy never got the memo. Two years later she is a happy, generous dog who loves life, every person and dog she meets, and any body of water she can find—from puddle to dog fountain in the park to the Great Lakes. She is living her best life and has shown us that every day is a celebration!
