My Pet Story: Joey, my cancer-detecting dog

King Frederick of Prussia once said, a dog is "a man’s best friend”. Since time immemorial, the only, absolute and best friend that a man has, in this selfish world, the only one that will not betray or deny him, is his dog. To me, my dogs are the only family I have.

Being single, I decided to adopt dogs as my companions. As an independent animal rescuer, I adopted abandoned dogs.
