Shared Love
Uploaded: April 10, 2012 05:02:27
My husband, Bob, was sharing a very special moment with Bailey, our Golden Retriever, during a morning walk at Hilton Head Island.
Bailey is a registered therapy dog and has literally brought smiles to hundreds of children and adults during visits to hospitals, nursing homes, and grade schools over the years.
In January, our 10-year-old pup was diagnosed with lymphoma, and has been going through a chemotherapy treatment protocol. He's in total remission, and is doing very well. He has taught us that every day is a gift.
Fiddled in the digital darkroom and added a few textures.

It's so good to hear that Bailey is doing so well. This is a great capture that I am sure you will hold on to forever. Give Bailey a special treat. My pups get a bowl of milk about three times per week.....spoiled rotten... :) #10083905

So sorry to hear about Bailey's health issue but thrilled that he is in total remission!! Didn't know Bailey was a Therapy Dog. God Bless him and you. I know how much comfort our dog at the time gave me in a couple of health issues I had. There's nothing better than having your dog jump up on your bed and snuggle up.How's Bob doing? I remember when I was there in 2010 he was still in therapy. Hope he too is doing well.
Oh, the photo is magnificent!! The love they share is clear!! #10084681
