Mom’s Loyal Dog Proves Doctors Lied About Diagnosis
Bittersweet
Sally could not believe what Doctor Campbell was telling her. She stared blankly at him as he showed her the scan. She felt finally validated for all the suffering she had undergone.
She felt overwhelmed by her emotions. Delight, as well as a strong love for Skye, coexisted with bitterness. Sally debated whether or not to take further action against Doctor Campbell as she weighed her choices.

Today
Sally Mitchum, a 44-year-old woman, residing in Oregon, endured the worst five years of her life recently. She got divorced, and it left her heartbroken and exhausted.
Starting fresh at the age of 44 was no easy task, but she knew it had to be done. However, she did not even know where to attempt to begin. Things soon changed when a special somebody entered her life.
She Felt Love Again
Milwaukee Journal
Sally served in the Marine Corps for years, and she seldomly complained. She was the kind of woman who kept her mouth shut and did what she needed to do. However, the pain she experienced when her marriage ended was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.
Sally thought that she would never find love again. However, thanks to an unexpected gift, Sally was overwhelmed by feelings of love again. Before she met Skye, Sally believed that she would never be able to recover from the loss of her marriage.
The Beginning
Daily Mail
After her divorce, Sally researched various methods to overcome her divorce. She had not anticipated it taking as long as it did.
In an attempt to find peace in her loneliness, Sally went on numerous hikes into the forest. After her one hike, she heard a loud shriek coming from the trees.
An Injured Pup
BBC
The noise was terrible. She could tell there was a great deal of pain behind it, and it reminded her of her own inner turmoil. Sally found herself in a meadow after following the noise.
The scene she came across when she brushed aside a vast tangle of bushes made her cry. She identified the puppy, which was obviously wounded and underweight.
She Was Beautiful
Oak Hills Vet Clinic
The puppy was really gorgeous. She was a little Siberian Husky with black and white streaks on her fur. Sally was completely enthralled by her dark blue eyes.
Sally could not believe the pup survived during the coldest month of the year. Sally covered the poor animal in her jacket before making her way to the closest vet.
Her New Companion

The only problem the vet could find was a sprained paw, but aside from that, the pup was in good condition. Sally had already formed a very special connection with Skye, so it was only logical that she would adopt the pup.
The metamorphosis was astonishing over the course of a few weeks. Skye flourished and developed rapidly. Skye and Sally created an unshakeable bond quickly, but Sally had no idea how remarkable Skye was.
Something Special About Her
El Paso County, Colorado
Skye was the quintessential Husky. She had a tremendous amount of energy and enjoyed playing. Sally understood she liked to roam and scavenge, and it was presumably how she got trapped in the forest.
On their excursions together, Skye had a habit of racing off when her nose discovered something. Sally quickly realized she had a distinct personality.
She Made Her Happy

It was clear to Sally that there was nothing ordinary about Skye. She frequently enjoyed rummaging in the woods and locating wild truffles. However, she was not properly trained, and thus she would end up consuming or destroying rare mushrooms as a result.
However, Sally did not care. Skye made Sally feel love and joy again. Unfortunately, things were about to take a turn for the worst.
Dismissal

Sally experienced a severe stomach ache one day. She went in and out of clinics throughout the next two weeks. Her agony worsened, but her doctor continued to disregard it as “acute.”
Doctor Campbell ultimately inferred that Sally might be a “hypochondriac,” which horrified Sally. She was in excruciating pain, and it was worsening by the day.
Skye Helped Her

Her only comfort through this horrid period was Skye. The loyal dog never left her side. She intuitively supported Sally by resting her chin on her stomach and intently sniffing her belly.
Sally grew weaker and more frustrated with her doctor as his “tests” kept coming back negative, and he began suggesting she seek “psychiatric help.”
They Were Wrong
Fox29 Philidelphia
Sally noticed that Skye always sniffed her belly at a specific spot. Oddly, it wasn’t the spot where she felt pain. As the sniffing grew more frenzied, Sally’s own instincts kicked in.
She asked for more scans but requested her doctor to focus on the spot Skye kept sniffing. Doctor Campbell was amazed when it revealed a golfball-sized tumor that could be seen now.
Sally Was Angry
The Atlanta Journal
Glad to finally have proof that she wasn’t “imagining the pain,” Sally began treatment. She had lost a lot of time which angered her.
The tumor was pressing down on her bowel, which was why the pain was in a different spot. It had started to spread, and now it was a question of whether it could still be operated.
The Procedure
Fox 8
Despite being a tricky surgery, the tumor was successfully removed. Sally decided not to hold Doctor Campbell responsible for misdiagnosing her. It was no indictment of his expertise. Skye was just a special dog.
After many months, Sally made a full recovery. The pair eventually moved to a new house, but to her horror, Skye began sniffing her belly again one day. (https://onco.com/)
Skye ‘Nose’ Best

This time, Sally did not hesitate and immediately got a scan in the exact spot that Skye had been sniffing. Once again, she caught the danger before the doctors.
The second tumor turned out to be benign. For many survivors, early detection of recurrence is a constant worry. Sally fortunately never had to live in fear again with Skye at her side.
