Our Dogs

On September 6, 2007, with great sadness, we said goodbye to Monkey, our amazing 5 yr. old boxer. She was dx with Grade 3 mast cell cancer 2 yrs earlier.

Monkey was theDTC's mascot and a 'once in a lifetime' dog whose sweetness and special qualities were felt by all who met her.

Monkey's loyalty and companionship will be greatly missed and very fondly remembered.
