About Corey's Canine Corner
Corey's Canine Corner provides news and other information for dogs and the people who love them. Our goal is to make the world a better place for dogs, and for all animals. The site is named after Corey, a pure-bred Tibetan Terrier puppy. For those not familiar with the breed, Tibetan Terriers are originally from Tibet, but they are not terriers. They are companion animals and part of the AKC's Non-Sporting Group. They are one of the oldest breeds in existence.
As a puppy, Corey was part of a large rescue effort by the Tibetan Terrier Health & Welfare Foundation (TTHWF) which is affiliated with the Tibetan Terrier Club of America. Unfortunately, during his first veterinary exam with the TTHWF, it was discovered that Corey had a serious heart condition that would require a quiet home, extra attention and specialized veterinary care. It also meant his life would likely be short. His rescue family was able and happy to provide the care he needed and welcomed this beautiful, joyous puppy into their family.
Corey was full of life and full of fun. He lived every moment with joy and through social media, brought that joy to others around the globe. Despite his serious health problem, Corey loved to play, although for much shorter periods than most puppies. He especially loved to fly off the deck and run around the yard! His antics made him a star on social media as he shared his joy for life with Tibetan Terrier lovers around the globe.
Corey's new family was well-prepared to take special care of him and be his nurse when needed. They accepted that he would likely have a shorter life than most dogs. Unfortunately, Corey's health took a turn for the worse much sooner than expected.
Corey was scheduled for heart surgery at Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine, but he never got to make the trip. Corey's heart gave out and he passed away peacefully with the person he loved most at his side just days before his scheduled surgery. He was just 18 months old.
Corey brought so much joy to his family, and through social media to people around the world. He was a beautiful, joyous, mischievous and special dog. His life inspired us to help make the world a better place for dogs and the people who love them!
