Ladybug is a female Rottie that is 12 years young and Tom's constant companion. Her breed usually only lives 9 years, as did her mom and dad. When she met Dr. Carolyn, she couldn’t walk any longer.   Dr. O’s combined Western and alternative protocol has given her a new lease on life. She now walks well and even trots gingerly, chasing a rabbit once in a while with a halfhearted, fun attitude and no intention of catching it. Tom credits her new lease on life to Dr. O.
