“We called him Trooper because our son Daniel thought his dad was such a trooper the way he was trying to fight cancer.”
“Walking, going for little walks and talking, it was good. He was only a puppy as you could pick him up and carry him around everywhere.”
Mrs Cheney will be a proud attendee of Bark for Life from 9am to 1pm on Sunday at Endeavour Oval.
Register on the day or check out the ‘Bark for Life’ Facebook event.
