Skyler is a boxer puppy that was diagnosed with Histiocytic 
Sarcoma back in April of 2010. He had his right rear leg amputated at AETC and underwent chemotherapy as well. We are very pleased to report that Skyler is doing well today. He graces the cover of Tails Magazine (May 2011) issue which was voted on by magazine viewers.
Below is the article written by a Tails Magazine writer.
Skyler “Skybox” the Boxer entered Doug Stull’s life when the tiny dog was only ten weeks old. It has been a story of friendship and love ever since. The pair spends as much time outdoors as they can, even during long Chicago winters. According to Stull, “Skyler’s main goal in life is to get attention from people and make them smile, as he smiles back!”
And while Skyler loves common “doggie” activities such as playing on the beach, chasing balls and squirrels, and running, Stull also let us know that Skyler has a bit of an obsession with blonde women. He likes brunettes, but if there is blonde nearby he will do everything he can to get her attention and to make his way over to say, “hi.” One thing Skyler is not is shy.
Skyler is, however, very brave. Last April, just months before his ninth birthday, Skyler was at Urban Veterinary Care when Dr. Scott noticed a lump on his leg. It turned out to be cancer, and shortly after the diagnosis, Skyler had his leg amputated. He was a champ during the surgery and chemo, and in fact, the winning photo was taken this past July, just months after surgery. He adjusted to his new way of getting around with ease; Nothing can keep Skyler from making new friends and staying active.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, be sure to keep your eye out for this happy and social three-legged dog, especially if you’re a blonde woman! If you don’t see Sklyer at the beach, you may catch him in one of his other favorite spots, riding around town in the back of the Jeep, top down, of course!
