with him! He had such a wonderful
personality and loved everyone
he would meet. Just before
Hank's seventh birthday he
wouldn't eat his treats. When we
took him to the doctor they did
an x-ray and found that Hank
had a rare cancer of the connective
tissue called sarcoma. The
tumor was the size of a grapefruit.
