(Katie Yoder / OSV News) — Bobby Schindler still remembers his older sister’s love of animals. “We had a Labrador growing up, a family pet that she just adored,” he told OSV News about his sister, Terri Schiavo, and their dog, Bucky.
“He had … a brain tumor, and he fell over and collapsed … and Terri reached out and tried to give it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.”
“I don’t think she knew how to do it,” he added, but “she was trying to do everything she could to save her dog.” Schindler spoke about Schiavo ahead of the 20th anniversary of her death — a death that followed a years-long legal battle that made international headlines and captured the attention of then-President George W. Bush, U.S. members of Congress and even the Vatican. CONTINUE
