The strongest boy in the world.

Sunny went for his operation yesterday. Doctor said it was a 50/50 chance for the operation. And 2 weeks after the operation, it would be a 50/50 chance that he would recover, the cancer cells would grow back, or the operation would simply be ineffective. Which would mean that he would not survive past next Chinese New Year.

After analyzing sunny the vet said he could not use anesthesia as he was too weak to accept it into his system. And the vet initially called off the operation. After much deliberation, he decided to go ahead without anesthesia, something which is extremely uncommon in the animal surgery field, as he would not know how dogs would react to pain.

Sunny, being the strong willed boy he has always been, lay completely still while the surgeon carried on the operation. That means he sat through the entire process of the surgeon cutting his forehead open and removing all the dead/cancerous cells and flesh from his forehead. Even part of the bone had to be removed.

He has survived the operation, now we shall all wait and pray that the cancer cells would not grow back. As the Vet has already told us there would be no second operation.

Sunny is now much better than before the operation, as the operation has removed much stress from the pressure inside his head. Thus causing much swelling and total discomfort prior to going under the knife.

Sunny has always been an extremely obedient, loving and the most perfect dog anyone would want in a dog. Never have I thought he would be so strong as to go through this ordeal just to survive longer for the ones he loves so much. Our family.

I know dogs can't read blogs (obviously). But this is my way of showing my gratitude for the world to know. And for those whose lives have been touched by sunny before one way or another.

Thank you Sunny. We all love you. Please be strong.
