Heather and her partner had to take a break from Bogart's training when they noticed there was a bump on his leg, which ended up being cancer. "We were shocked," Heather said.
After the initial diagnosis, Heather said they made the difficult decision to amputate Bogart's leg as it "would give the best chance of life." He is now healthy and fully recovered.
But in the weeks following the surgery, Bogart struggled to adjust.
"He wouldn't eat. He was just not himself. I thought I was going to lose him," Heather said through tears.​​​​
