Buster came to me in November of 1998 at age 9 years old. As a volunteer for Boykin Spaniel Rescue, I took him in as a foster dog.

I started noticing Buster would not lift his leg to urinate. Then, he began to drag his back feet. Off to the vet we went. Buster had back surgery to repair a herniated disk.

The next day I received the call that surgery indeed had been performed. Buster was recovering and was doing very well. What great news!! This is a close up view of the surgical site.

One year and two months later, Buster is as good as ever. Here he is, enjoying a good roll on the carpet!
