Thud was such a handsome fellow which I had the pleasure of meeting in Colorado in 2007. I had known of Thud prior our meeting as his owner would e-mail me about him.
While in Colorado, I managed to get a series of photos of him — including this one. He died shortly after and I am honored that I was blessed with our meeting — even if only for a short moment.
Although you can’t tell in these photos, Thud suffered from a condition called degenerative myelopathy (DM). He was slowly going paralyzed and although his mind was sharp, his body was not.
100% of sales of “Thud” cards will be donated to the American Chesapeake Club Trust Fund to help fund research for DM and other diseases which affect our canine friends.

Thud’s mom can’t thank you enough for capturing his spirit, and supporting the fight against DM.
GiGi — you know we’re in this together, my friend!! I hope to have more photo of Thud up in the next week or two. Including the one in the painting. Thank you for bringing this special boy for me to meet!
