Pet Stories

Neffie, the German Shepherd

Neffie, a rescued German Shepherd dog, was misdiagnosed with a cyst in 1992. She was only 2 years old and had a growing lump on her right back.

Kelcey's Story

My Kelsey had a stone removed last year by Dr. Chick Weisse which stopped her bleeding but at the same time she was confirmed to have liver cancer. We stayed overnight and saw many other animals who all had a chance because they came to your hospital.

Bear's Story

Bear Miller was diagnosed with a grade 3 mast cell tumor 6 years ago with only two months to live by the original doctor. With only radiation and surgery, he is still thriving, even though no other dog even with chemo has lived more than 1 1/2 years even with chemo. Even with big fatty tumors, he is happy and healthy.

About the artist: Robert Andrew Parker

The watercolor drawings were donated to The AMC by world-renowned artist, Robert Andrew Parker.

He was born in 1927 in Norfolk, Virginia and attended the school of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1948 until 1952. He held his first solo show in 1954 and has since exhibited extensively. His credits include set designs for opera and film as well as book illustrations.

In his watercolors, Parker combines areas of pure color with design conceived in terms of silhouette and shape. He takes his subject matter mostly from the natural world - dogs, trees, mountains, birds - and condenses and simplifies imagery with a swift, expressionistic technique. During his career, Parker has worked in such distinctive locales as Arles and Saint-Remy in France and the Himalayas.

Mr. Parker, whose works are among the permanent collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim, has created the series of posters which hang throughout The AMC facility to commemorate our centennial year.
