Much remains to be done. The Patient's Perspective - Dipper's Story Dipper has been part of the family since before Mackenzie was born. Mackenzie, who just finished first grade, loves to play with Dipper, a golden retriever and samoyed mix.

The vet drew a blood sample and performed a liver function test, which revealed some abnormalities.
