A Bittersweet Goodbye to Our Very Special Percy! 🦊
As some good things begin, some must end. Percy the giant, most lovable Arctic Fox came by for a special visit to see the new clinic and say goodbye as he and his guardian have to move.
Percy knows the extremes of life as his ears were previously burnt off by an abuser and he carried significant scarring, although none of that has ever touched his heart. His new dad travelled across the continent to adopt him 6 years ago and they have been the biggest blessings to each other.
They have both been incredibly valued since the start of our venture in the ambulance during the heart of Covid. Later, a simple lump turned out to be an extremely aggressive cancer and he was given less than 6 months to live. Percy was again counter blessed to have such a committed family. Nearly 3 years later after enrolling in a scientific study for research therapy and several surgeries and courses of radiation, he is still loving everyone and fighting all odds. Percy and his dad are a reminder of how far we can travel and that often times, blessing and sorrow are intertwined.
We wish them all the best in their journeys as we continue ours.
With love,
The Mountain Animal Hospital Team 🐾
