This is my old boy Chester. I adopted him when he was 17 years old. At the time, my vet gave him only one, maybe two weeks to live. He was battling a mouth infection, heartworm, a severe heart murmur, and more. But Chester is a fighter, and so am I—we never gave up.

He went through surgeries and treatments, and now, at 22 years old (he celebrated his birthday on October 17), he’s healthy, happy, and still going strong. He always has a smile on his face. He’s such a handsome, joyful boy
