is some of the best news you can get (well, next to having no tumor at all, of course), but what we want to draw attention to is the process, the responsible, humane, and cooperative way this situation was handled:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A roaming dog (now named &#8220;Mookie&#8221;) is picked up by Animal Control, and nobody comes forward to claim her<\/li>\n<li>Mookie has a tumor on her face; removing it cannot be paid for with funds given to the town or Animal Control, so a call for donations is made, with those funds going directly to a\u00a0local animal hospital (<a title=\"Goodfriends Animal Clinic\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Goodfriends-Veterinary-Clinic\/152028608147152\" target=\"_blank\">Goodfriends Animal Clinic<\/a>) that will perform the procedure<\/li>\n<li>Animal lovers step up to the plate and cover Mookie&#8217;s medical expenses<\/li>\n<li>Along with getting the tumor removed, she is spayed, has her teeth cleaned, gets her rabies shot, etc. &#8212; this girl\u00a0really gets the &#8220;full treatment!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Biopsy of the tumor comes back &#8220;benign,&#8221; with little chance of it growing back<\/li>\n<li>Now, through cooperation between Animal Control, Goodfriends, and generous animal lovers, a little lost dog now has a shot at a great life!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1074\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1074\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1074\" src=\"http:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/beforeAndAfter-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"beforeAndAfter\" width=\"450\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/beforeAndAfter-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/beforeAndAfter.jpg 820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center>Before and After<\/center><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The people who love animals, the ones who make a difference quietly doing the right thing day after day really don&#8217;t get enough credit &#8212;
