HopeForHounds Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Bosha, featured on the Hope for Hounds Inspiring Stories page, an amazing 3 year cancer survivor lost his battle on Friday night. Bosha was diagnosed with osteo in Oct of 2005. He had an amputation and chemo, then lived his life as an ordinary greyhound, eating, sleeping and running. Bosha visited a children's cancer camp during the summer and gave hope to many children suffering from cancer. In May this year, he was diagnosed with a second osteo tumor in his back leg. Today, his Mom left me a phone message to tell me that Bosha broke his leg when he was out in the yard. She was left with no other choice but to let him go. Bosha will always remain one of my biggest heroes. He fought the evil monster back and won. He helped give Dr Couto and his team at OSU some statistics, but most of all he gave them so much hope. I know that all of the members of the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program at OSU will feel Bosha's loss deeply. Please keep Bosha's Mom Barb, and the GHWP at OSU in your prayers. Dr Couto and Bosha 2 years cancer free. Barb, Bosha and me on my trip to OSU in Sept 2007 Godspeed handsome man Send your Mom a sign to let us know you are okay.

Houndtime Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Bosha, you fought the good fight. You are a hero and will be remembered by many. I do hate cancer.

Guest boondog Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Oh, Bosha. What a wonderful boy. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Barb donated an Irish sixpence necklace to our auction this year. I won it, and think of Bosha everytime I wear it. His amazing memory will live on in so many ways.
