- A stray dog was seen on Saturday in a video entering a veterinary clinic in Brazil before staff treated him for a cancerous tumor

- Veterinarian Dayse Silva said the dog felt better after undergoing the first chemotherapy session to remove the tumor from his genital area.
A stray dog seen on surveillance video where he walks into a veterinary clinic in Brazil is now under the personal care of one of his doctors after being treated for a cancerous tumor.
A few customers were waiting with their poochies to pay attention when the dog limped into the offices of Vet VIP in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, on Saturday.
Veterinarian Dayse Silva stood behind the counter and approached the dog as he examined his surroundings and sat down.
The surveillance camera system at Vet VIP recorded the moment when a stray dog walked into the clinic alone before staff learned that he had a cancerous tumor after treating a growing nail in his paw. The dog is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is waiting to be adopted
According to vet Vet VIP Dayse Silva, the dog will stay with her while he receives his chemotherapy rounds.
The doctor initially spotted an ingrown nail after greeting her with his paw and wagging his tail. Further tests showed the dog’s tumor from his genital area, which requires him to undergo chemotherapy.
“He is doing very well. Excited, smart, very different from when he came here, ‘Silva said in an interview with the Brazilian online portal G1.

“He has no more bleeding and shows no signs of pain. He responded well to the first chemotherapy session and we will evaluate each new procedure to find out how much he needs … ‘
Silva opened her family’s home to her new friend while he recovered and traveled with her to the clinic for his daily treatment.
Fat VIP Clinic has received calls from residents interested in adopting him, but no one has personally visited to complete the required adoption documents.
An online effort to raise funds to cover the cost of grooming the dog exceeded the clinic’s goal of $ 713.
