Contestant #4402
 
Hi, my name is Buddy!  I was adopted from Table Mountain.  My first owner thought I was too big.  I don't know why...I only weighed 80 pounds!  I had really bad separation anxiety at my new home.  Lucky for me, my new mom was patient, and we worked through that over time.  In 2005, I had a nerve sheath tumor in my armpit area.  My left leg was amputated, and the tumor was completely removed.  I had a lot of bleeding and required a blood transfusion, followed by five days in intensive care at CSU in Fort Collins, Colorado.  I am doing great now, and I'm so happy and lucky to be alive!
