At just 6 years young, Otis has been a cherished member of our family since he was a puppy. From the very beginning, we knew he was meant to be ours. Not long after Otis joined the family, we welcomed a new baby boy, and a remarkable bond between best friends was formed. Through the years, Otis has been a loyal companion, protector, playmate, and constant source of unconditional love.
Otis also shares a special friendship with his Golden Retriever brother, Bear, and together they have filled our home with joy, laughter, adventures, and countless treasured memories.
On May 29th, Otis received a heartbreaking diagnosis of Stage 3 T-Cell lymphoma. Having faced a simlilar path of cancer with our son, we understand all too well the emotions, uncertainty, and challenges that accompany a diagnosis like this. Yet, just as we have done before, we approached this journey with strength, determination, and an unwavering commitment to our precious Otis
Otis continues to live his very best life—surrounded by the people who adore him, the family he treasures, and all the comforts that make every day special.
