🐾💙 One of our very special clients, Dexter, has been part of our training family for the past few years, showing up with a wagging tail and a big heart every single week. Recently, he went through a tough surgery and had to have one of his eyes removed

He’s such a brave, sweet soul and we know he’s going to keep living and enjoying life with that same big heart of his. If you can, send him a little love and healing energy as he recovers — he truly is one of a kind. 💕🐶✨

Here’s what Amanda said. “Long story short - Dexter is now a little pirate 🖤

It's been a wild couple of weeks to say the least. 1st emergency visit: misdiagnosis of an iris cyst. 2nd emergency visit: misdiagnosis of melanoma/tumor. Urgent ophthalmology appointment Monday morning: diagnosis of eye trauma or foreign object so we had booked another appointment later that week to sedate and explore to see what could be done but we ended up back up at the emergency that Monday night after some very gross events...and he then had emergency surgery Tuesday morning. Besides his annoyance with the cone, he's doing well and back to his regular self already 🥰 So dog pictures will look a bit different from now on, but I think he's still as handsome as ever 💙”
