Beau’s fight

3 years ago I found myself wanting to have the company of another dog having left my previous dog behind in the UK 3 years prior after moving to Australia. I spotted Beau on the safe Perth Facebook page. He had been in kennels for 3 years having been abandoned with no name and had finally just started refusing to eat due to giving up after being in kennels so long. I fostered him to start with. When I got him he had kennel cough and was seriously underweight. His head had basically no fat on it and his ribs were showing. He instantly shocked me how house trained and docile he was.  After having one lot of potential new owners meeting him to look at adopting him, I made the decision to adopt him myself. During the past 3 years before Beau showed signs of his cancer the most scary moment came after having him only 4 months was when he smashed through the front window attempting to chase a intruder who was looking through my cars on my drive. Luckily he only suffered a cut paw and 1500 dollars later after a 2am trip to the emergency vets he was fine.
