A 14-year-old girl from St. Anthony has yet another reason to smile.

Rebecca Wiseman, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, rang the bell at the cancer centre this week, and yesterday, she went home with a brand new puppy.

Wiseman’s fondest wish was to own a Maltipoo puppy. That’s where the Children’s Wish Foundation comes in.

They made arrangements to have the puppy flown in to St. John’s International where Rebecca and her family picked up Marley – a 3 pound Maltese-poodle cross.

Rebecca’s brother, Lucas Wiseman, says watching his sister go through treatments was hard, but the puppy is going to brighten her days.

He says he knew she would get through it because she is strong.
