More: Beaux was a Certified Therapy Dog with TDI for 10 years. He began having seizures at age 9. After acupuncture and naturopathic medications, he was able to manage the disease and continue to provide emotional support to humans and cats. At age, 13, he was diagnosed with aggressive cancer affecting his spleen, liver.. He survived 4 months, after his diagnosis, with sweet and caring affection for his caregivers and my grandmother. He helped numerous patients in rehab facilities and school children with his grace and love. This is our favorite photo of him. We were truly blessed to part of his life.
