We brought Jayla into our family not quite a year after having Luca down for bone cancer. We saw this scared and frightened dog on the Humane Society website and it was love at first sight. We got Jayla on March 21st, 2008. That night I emailed Doc and told her that she had a new patient.

 

​When we took Jayla in, a few days later, she was really deep in her protective shell, afraid of everyone and everything. Jayla was all skin and bones and had real large nipples. But with the love from our family and Dr. Brooks… Jayla is one happy 3 year old mastiff who likes walks and ice cream.
