Pet of the Month - Chester Ketter

Chester is a hero, plain and simple. As soon as he was adopted into Allison's home, he saved her life. Allison first met him as a stray on the streets, he was smelly and hungry. No one claimed him and 10 days later, he was adopted into his forever home with Allison.

Chester had this odd habit of trying to bite Allison's chest - for no reason. In early May of 2007, Allison was laying down and Chester came over and took his paw and hit her chest really hard. This time it really hurt. Allison noticed a lump and thought it was from the hit - but it didn't go away. She knew right away that it would be breast cancer. That is how Chester saved Allison's life - she has now been cancer free for 5 years, and Chester has no need to bite or hit her anymore. He is a crucial part of Allison's critter family, and will forever be known as a hero.
