 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Caring for her ailing 9-year-old chow has taken over Shanika Stewart's life.
Cocoa must be force-fed with a syringe six times a day since suffering permanent liver damage after eating contaminated dog food.
"I haven't had any time to do anything but take care of her," said Stewart, a 19-year-old nursing student at the University of South Carolina. "She's the No. 1 priority. ... I get maybe four hours of sleep before she wakes me up."
