More: Get to know Truman: Was born of the 4th of July. Likes to hold your hand. Is afraid of small fluffy dogs. And not afraid of fireworks. Will swipe a hard-boiled egg off the counter. Loves being alongside a fisherman on a dock. Has no instinct to hunt a darn thing. Has mast cell skin cancer. But chemo doesn't get him down. Gives us joy each day. And drives us nuts, too.
