Casper
Casper came to us on a Saturday afternoon after being found inside the fence at a local shelter. He had been thrown by someone over a six foot fence and was obviously in pain. Someone at the shelter had called us and when one of our volunteers saw him she couldn’t resist and since he was in such need she rescued him. She thought maybe he was a mix. After taking him for an emergency vet check she discovered that Casper was actually a White Scottie, not a Westie at all.
Casper was in bad shape but after a day or two on pain medication he seemed to perk up. We had a wonderful adopter who was so excited to have found a White Scottie to join his Black Scottie. The world was looking much brighter for Casper. During a trip to our regular veterinarian for a more comprehensive check a large lump on his shoulder became a major cause of concern. Casper was scheduled for a biopsy of the lump which turned out to be pretty big surgery for the poor little guy. The lump proved to be inoperable bone cancer.
Our hearts were so saddened because we had quickly come to love this scruffy looking Scottie. He was brave, gentle, sweet, affectionate, well behaved and a perfect dog. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. How he had come to be in this condition was something we could not understand. Casper had not run away, he wasn’t in any condition to, someone had merely discarded him. We will always remember Casper and the brief time we had with him. Despite the inhumane treatment he had endured he was still full of love. We only wish we could have helped him. Stacy Workman, Liza Escobar, and Jim and Dee Call, board members of WRNT, were with him when he crossed over the rainbow bridge and there we know he is pain free and happy again.
