Info from Licensor: "Saki is my six year old German Shepherd who recently had gotten back from the vet. She had a lump forming in her side and it had grown rapidly. I was really scared it was cancer, but when I took her to the vet the next day, it turned out to be a cyst that had gotten infected. The vet cleaned her up and sedated her, and sent me home with a heavy load of Carprofen for pain. She is a very energetic dog that constantly has to be by my side. She has a frisbee we use as her pacifier- if she holds it in her mouth, even a complete stranger can cuddle her. She was pumped full of drugs but spent the remaining night refusing to go to sleep. Every time she laid down, she would close her eyes and nod off but would not put her head down. She finally sat up next to me and handed me her frisbee. I was trying desperately to wear her out so she could sleep. I kept putting her frisbee on her head and she kept knocking it off but couldn't focus long."
