A street dog in Spain was hanging about outside a hospital for humans. He had the most massive tumour on his body.
He was rescued on Monday 9th January 2017 by a rescue group in Spain, taken to a vet where he received an MRI scan, and finally surgery on Wednesday to remove the tumour (which looked like an over-sized benign fatty tumour from the surgery -although I can't speak Spanish. But it was affecting his ability to walk.)
He has been named "Duke". The most amazing thing was the way he communicated his situation. He knew he needed medical help, and appeared to be asking for it by hanging around outside the hospital. It was the only way he knew, to let people know. He was saying he knew he had a chance at life and he wanted to take it, right now.
His demeanour when under care was constantly patient and gentle with those who worked to help him.
