Archer has always dreamed of having a sausage dog. His mum Brooke says Archer would often wish upon dandelions. “When I asked him what he wished for, he said a sausage dog.”
Archer’s wish came true in October this year, when he received his wonderful sausage dog – named Jeb. After enduring brutal chemotherapy treatments for leukaemia, Jeb brought a lot of joy to Archer and his family.
Brooke explains how meaningful Archer’s wish was:
“The whole experience has been so special and just a chance to really reflect on how far he has come. From 27 months on chemo and everything horrific that entailed, to running with his own puppy playing chase – it’s like night and day.
During his treatment there was a long period of time where he couldn’t walk at all and had nothing in him to be able to even try and force a smile… I used to imagine him running and laughing again and it felt almost unreachable at times. And now here he is doing those things, with his own special companion.”
