More: Scout is my medical service dog. Soon after photo was taken she survived a serious bite by a Copperhead and within six months later she was hit by a large Fed Ex truck in front of my house that had veered off the road. A terrific surgeon in Frederick, Md., fused her right front foot, saved her degloved right leg and her life. Medical expenses cost me $30,000.00. Fed Wx eeimburses me for half. “She takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’”.
