Aki is a 8-year-old Siberian Husky in Grand Rapids, MI, who needs $2,000 for Abdominal Foreign Body Exploratory Surgery.

My puppy was an adoption I made locally and has had a happy life with me until recently when I started a new job trying to make a better living for him and I and I took him to a daycare facility that was well recommended in my area and he got an injury from negligence that requires surgery to fix. He's the happiest dog I have ever met and is really gentle with everyone. Truly the best.

Him and I go hiking every day and I taught him sled dog commands so he gets to have fun pulling me around pretending like he is working. For some reason, its his favorite thing to do. When I am at home working at my desk, he is always coming to me with a ball to throw for him, or he lays down at my feet or next to me. He always likes staying nearby and sleep next to my bed.

He is the goofiest little thing I have seen. He will walk around "talking" and respond to you like he is mocking you. He does these cute little pounces on a rope ball he has and will roll one around while he has the other in his mouth. Every single time he stretches, he ends it off with this big howl like he's saying it was great.

As said before, I left him at a recommended doggy day care for a couple days (only from 8am-2pm) while I started a new job at a office where I work part time. Shortly after, I noticed he had diarrhea and then one day he collapsed and was seizing. I took him to the vet and they found a foreign obj in him that was life threatening. He needed expensive emergency surgery. It cost much more than I had

It will mean everything for him to be up and about again. He is my only friend and family and all I have. I don;t make much and was in between jobs so I don't have much either. I am trying to make it back from that state, but I keep getting pushed further into the hole.
