Why is your dog the "Coolest Dog in Charlotte"?
Brain cancer survivor. Tenured study buddy. Lifelong third wheel. Finley has been there since the beginning, and we'll be with her until the end. She was with me as I went through 8 years of undergrad & veterinary school, and now I get to be her veterinarian as she battles her brain tumor. She's already survived her surgery and radiation! I met my fiancé 3 days after I adopted her, we get married this August, and she's going to be at the altar with us. Help me celebrate this special girl who deserves all the love in the world!
