The story behind this drawing was in the Dallas Morning News. This tiger was taken in by a local rescue organization. He had cancer but didn’t like the shot they had to give him to sedate him. He was surly and behaved badly with every shot. So they taught him to take the chemotherapy without a shot. He learned how to do that and lived another 5 months. The story in the paper generated funds to build a cement cooling pool for the big cats to recline under water in the Texas heat of summer.
