A Plainville man who said he is dying of cancer is spending his final weeks working to rehome his dog and best friend.
Initially, as a puppy, she had been given up two times before a friend of his took her in and asked him to keep her in his family's garage.“I had told myself I was never going to get another pet because it breaks my heart to lose them. Fortunately, she’s going to outlive me this time," said Fine .“It was my lifelong dream. I planned for 30 years or more. I was going to buy a truck, camper, and I’m going to see the national parks. In 2020 I pulled the trigger," said Fine .
A year after that, he got vascular disease in his legs, which he said caused some of his arteries to shut down.took about four months to figure out what it was, they came up with stage four lung cancer, and the treatments would be brutal, it wouldn’t give me much time, and I’d be sick all the time, and I choose quality over quantity.”“I’m alright with it. I came to terms with it, It is what it is and you know," he said.
He said he has never been married and has no children, other extended family members can't take her because they have pets, and she needs to be the only pet in the household.“I’d like to find somebody like me you know, someone that wants a companion to greet you at the door, when you come in be happy to see you," he said. "She loves to dig, so they would need to keep an eye on her and she doesn't do well with stairs.
