Bronx and five other puppies were rescued from neglectful conditions in February 2011 at only 6 weeks old. They were diagnosed with parvovirus and received treatment, but two sisters passed away from the disease. Bronx responded well to treatment and was adopted by the author. However, at 13 months old Bronx was diagnosed with renal failure. He received homeopathic treatment for 7 more months before his condition deteriorated and he had to be euthanized in November 2012 at only 2 years old. The author credits Bronx with teaching them important life lessons about strength, optimism, and looking up despite difficulties.

2. Brought Into Rescue
February 14, 2011

5. Bronx and his 5 litter mates were brought in very
sick. They were taken out of a home Where their
last litter mate died of starvation. They were
living on wood chips in a 9 square foot area,
sitting in there own urine and feces.That was also
their only food source. Only 6 weeks old and
already a life of misery.

6. Taken to the vet and diagnosed with Parvo.
Treatment started immediately.

7. Kassidy
Kassidy was more
lucky of the pups,
crazy right? She
didn't have any
symptoms other than
severe hunger and
malnutrition,
bending her joints
and bones.

8. Nevin
Nevin, also on the
lucky side, was near
death from
starvation. Like
Kassidy, his legs are
severely malformed
due to malnutrition.

9. Delaney
Very Sick, lethargic,
and overall slipping
away. Parvo taking
its toll on her poor
body.
Delaney passed away
2/19/2011
Parvo took her life.

10. Fallon
Unfortunately
Followed her sisters
path to rainbow
bridge on
2/21/2011

11. Even when you start treatment for parvo,
nothing is ever guaranteed, most diagnosed
never make it. The treatment is costly and harsh
especially on little babies like these.

12. Ashlynn
Ashlynn and Bronx were
hospitalized for 6 days in a last
ditch effort to save their lives.
During which time they had
constant fluids. Ashlynn wasn't
showing improvement and had to
endure an intussusception to
remove 8 inches of her intestines,
4 of which were already dead. Her
intestines were telescoping inside
of each other, only to be fixed by
the surgery. She came home 2
days afterward.

14. Bronx
Bronx started
responding to
treatment and was
sent home on less
extensive treatment

26. After Everything Me and My Mom
Adopted Bronx
I got to have my Dream Dog!

27. My Pride and Joy
Since Day one I was in love. He was truly perfect
and everything I ever wanted. I never knew what
we had in store. For 11 months he was a spunky
puppy, who urinated and drank A LOT. But He
was my baby. Ran many tests and was told he
was just a jerk, it wasn't a surprise with his
spunk!

30. He Fit In
Perfectly

31. After continuing to have urinating issues without
control and constantly drinking water, he went to
a specialist recommended by our vet! News
wasn’t good...

32. Bronx was diagnosed with renal(kidney) failure
at only 13 months old.. We knew then that his life
span was going to be shortened. Still I loved him
more. I wasn’t giving up and neither was he.
Doing medication would only effect his kidneys
even more. So homeopathic treatment it was. He
ate a raw diet and was on 6 organic supplements.
This helped him tremendously!

34. Over the next 7 months the treatment lost it’s
affect with Bronx. We tried adjusting to buy
more time but it slowly became clear that he was
too good for this planet...

36. True love will never die. That’s what we share
and will always hold.

38. On November 16, 2012 I said goodbye to my best
friend and love. He helped me through
everything and I ill never forget that. His body
started shutting down, losing control of all bodily
functions, we made the decision to humanely
euthanize.

39. He Taught Me to
Stand Tall and
Stay Strong
Despite the
Circumstance

40. Never Let
Anyone SeeYou
Frown Even At
Your Weakest

41. But Most of All
He taught Me to
Always Look Up

42. I will see you again Bronx, I am taking this time
without you to use the lessons you taught me and
save more like you. I will have you with my in my
thoughts, prayers, and in my heart. I love you
blue, never forget that.
