A heartwrenching story unfolds as a man facing a terminal illness finds himself more worried about his loyal companion, his dog, than his own fate. David Fine, from Plainville, Massachusetts, has made it his dying wish to secure a perfect home for his beloved pet, Babs, before he passes away.
Ten years ago, David rescued Babs, a Shar-Pei/Boxer mix, from a shelter. Since then, the two have been inseparable. But now, their time together is coming to an end as David, 63, battles cancer.
According to WJAR, David opted against treatment for his stage 4 lung cancer, as it would have compromised his quality of life. With a prognosis of just six more months to live, David’s top priority is ensuring a safe and loving home for Babs.
