"The dog on the left is Oso. He is a 3-year-old male German Shepherd. The dog on the right is Elsa. She is also a purebred German Shepherd, but due to her coat type her ears were too heavy and just would not stay up. She is a 1½-year-old female. They love to have their picture taken."

Sir Icarus Ace Von Trooper with his owner Cory—"We lost our beloved 7 1/2 year old GSD Ace very suddenly. To make a long story short, the end result was that he had a very large (nearly cantalope size) splenic tumor which ruptured ultimatley causing his untimely passing. Ace was a vibrant, smart, healthy dog who showed NO OBVIOUS SIGNS of anything wrong at all. He was playing and being his usual self at 8 in the morning and not even 12 hours later, he took his last breath. Splenic tumors (tumors on the spleen) are VERY common in middle aged German Shepherds. This came from our vet. As soon as Ace began to mope around we called our vet right away. They told us to bring him in right then, which we did and they got right down to business. He weighed his usual 90 pounds and had no hight temperature, but was breathing hard and would not move. Our vet examined him and said he was in a very grave state. His gums and tongue were fading in color so much so that she called the emergency vet and alerted them to our impending arrival. We took him there and they too, were on the ball. They did an ultrasound and it confirmed our vet's suspicions. He passed away before the ultrasound was even complete. These tumors grow very rapidly and 9 times out of 10 they are cancerous. We never had the first clue. Our hearts are broken, and we miss him terribly, but if this at least helps raise awareness, then our Ace's loss was not all in vain. GSDs are awesome animals and our Ace (aka Amazing Ace) was no different."
