Golden Heart Rex in Honor of a Huge Heart

Rex was poisoned and almost died. This was real life, and he looked like this. I found him in the backyard in a trance, holding on to say goodbye as he slowly lost his life, blood pouring from his nose and mouth. The story ends well. With 2 two blood plasma transfusions, Rex survived. He fought off death itself to love his family one more time. Instead, he got 2 more years of life.
