In February, doctors diagnosed her metastatic brain cancer, which is just as awful as it sounds.
[...] in March, as she began tying up her life's loose ends, she decided to focus on the biggest problem she could solve: finding a home for Buck, her dog.
Buck - 4 years old, half golden retriever, half blue heeler - lived to please her, to be the beta dog to Tina's alpha.
[...] he bit.
[...] he's been implanted with a microchip that identifies him as a "biter."
Extremely few rescue groups or animal shelters will even consider accepting a dog like that.
Tina worried that her diagnosis might be a death sentence for Buck, too.
In the week that followed that column, we received more than 150 emails, more than 100 of which were from people interested in adopting Buck.
Other people had spouses, kids, dogs, cats or goats (really: goats.) Brett didn't.
[...] I don't know about other people's dogs or cats or kids.
[...] Brett and Tina talked.
