Asia is a 5-year-old Saint Bernard in Cobleskill, NY, who needs $2,000 for total hip replacement .

Asia came into my life when my sisters dog had puppies. I was there for her birth. She was the first born and I was home alone with her mother. She plopped out on the floor and I thought that she was dead. I quickly rushed her mother to the whelping box and rubbed asia until she squirmed and latched onto mom. The second she was born I fell in love and knew she was mine. I was not looking for another dog nor did I want one but there was an instant connection that I had never experienced before. From the day she was born (I have photos from literally seconds after she was born), I spent most of my time with her and for the last 5 years we have been inseparable. I dont go anywhere without asia.
