Arthur is a 8-year-old Boston Terrier in South Lyon, MI, who needs $2,358 for dental & lumpectomy.

Artie loves to go for walks even hopping along on 3 legs, I take him & people ask me what is wrong with your dog? It just breaks my heart to see him like this but he is such a trooper! Arthur also has severe allergies. Nothing stops this guy from trying to play with other dogs. We live in a small apartment, my Artie has gotten me thru some really tough times, including the death of husband.

Artie has been with my grand children forever they are ( 4 & 2). He has never bitten or growled at them. He just moves away. He loves being around people & other pets. He is just a great dog. I do spoil him & he totally reacts to it, I am just a push over. He is so easy going & just a wonderful companion.

I am a 73 widow living on Social Security. I try to keep up with all his needs but this one I just cannot handle & it breaks my heart to see the pain he is in. I dream of him running & playing again. Artie being healthy & not in pain would be such a blessing!!!

Arthur has a very long hard nail on his paw that needs to be removed. He walks on 3 paws & I can tell it is very painful, even to touch his infected paw. His allergies are pretty bad with hair loss & dry flaky patches on his back & a lot of scratching. He is currently being treated at Dandy Acres Animal Hospital.

Artie's best friends are his stuffed animals, his ball & the cat (who wants nothing to do with him) also a fly swatter I run along the floor & he tries to attack -he is a Terrier!! He sleeps in my bedroom & sneaks into the bed in the middle of the night, of course I allow it. When he wants to eat he takes his food bowl & flips it on the floor then comes to me with a look like Mom I'm hungry.
