The type of story that you can't not get choked up about

A courageous and beautiful child, Lucas Hebree, has developed a special bond with a dog that was rescued from an animal shelter.  The big punch line?  Lucas himself is dying.  Read it, but be warned, copious amounts of Kleenex needed.  Prayers for this brave boy and his loving family, may a cure be found, wisdom and knowledge given to those who are seeking a cure and tending to the needs of Lucas, and peace and strength given to him and his loved ones.
