Outpouring of Support for Dying Woman’s Dog

By Amy Sinatra Ayres | vetstreet.com


While she's battled Stage 4 breast cancer, Patricia Cudd's dog Sherlock has been there to comfort her. "All these medical appointments, they're very tough," Cudd explains tearfully. "I just go home and I curl up with Sherlock and I feel better. I just feel so much better." But the terminally ill woman from northern Colorado can no longer give her beloved dog the exercise and attention he needs.

On Monday, a local TV station aired their story, asking viewers without other pets or children in their homes to consider adopting the Pit Bull. Hundreds of offers poured in with people wanting to give Sherlock a home - and to continue to bring him to visit Cudd. Cudd was overwhelmed by the heartwarming response to her story, and will be working with volunteers to determine the perfect home for her loyal companion. - Watch it on Colorado's 9News
