Thanks for sharing your story. I have heard that if the tumor is removed, they can go on to live for many more years. It seems like your pup did just that!
The rescue says that before they can perform any surgery, they have to wait 72 hours in case someone claims her. It's unlikely that she she ran out of someone's front door. We don't have front doors in NYC. We have doormen and lobbies. But she could have gotten off her leash. She was wearing a collar with no tags. The rescue is also getting a second opinion from another vet. I'll update when I hear news. I'm just hoping that Sophie will make it through the next 72 hours
