The upsets of the pandemic have taken a toll on all of us, but Liew Pei Yi, a music teacher in Subang Jaya, was also presented with a devastating diagnosis of ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed in May 2021 and almost immediately whisked into hospital for tests, operations, and chemo.

When you're not well, a warm furry hug means the world and luckily for Pei Yi, Summer, her five-year-old dog has been with her every step of the way.
