More: Nova was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma in 2018 & was given only 3-6 months to live. Since traditional treatments aren’t effective for this type of cancer, we did holistic healing methods & she has been kicking cancers butt for almost 4 years now!!! She’s usually a couch potato but still loves her short walkies when the weather is nice. For bigger adventures, her mom carries her 80 pound self in a special doggie backpack so she can still join the fun. She is her mamas heart dog & the best decision she ever made!
