Dipper's veterinarian conducted a liver biopsy, a procedure that was perfected in animal studies. Dipper's tumors were not malignant. Careful monitoring of the tumors is currently part of the routine veterinary care, including rabies vaccines and teeth cleaning, that keep Dipper happy and healthy. Now at ten years old, Dipper is still as frisky as Mackenzie's new Scottish terrier puppy, Luke. Thanks to the advances in veterinary medicine made possible by animal research, Dipper and Luke can both look forward to many trips to the park with Mackenzie.
