When Curtis Young's a miniature pinscher named Sabrina started scratching and biting at his neck, he thought nothing of it. Maybe it's an infection, maybe it's dandruff, he said as she shrugged it off. But once he got to the doctor's office things took a serious turn.
After getting a series of MRI scans, doctors discovered that Curtis had a brain tumor that was pressing against his brain. If left untreated he'd be dead within a year.
Curtis underwent surgery to have the tumor removed and in the process lost hearing in his right ear. Although he thought he was in the clear medically, Sabrina started to lick Curtis again, this time in his back. After inspecting the area Curtis felt a bump. Curtis would later learn that that lump was basal cell carcinoma, otherwise known as skin cancer.
He went to another doctor, was treated, and now living cancer-free, once again thanks to Sabrina.
"There is no way I could repay her for what she did, there is no way," he told the Florida Today, "she's my angel."
