Blue is an 11-month-old Neapolitan Mastiff in Fort Riley, KS, who needs $2,000 for orthopedic surgery .

My husband and I both serve in the Unites States Army and are stationed at Fort Riley. When we got to Kansas we searched for a large breed dog. We found Blue , my family and I have only had Blue since he was 8 weeks old, and he is only 11 months old. He is more than just a dog he is our family member, and protector. When my husband I got Blue I was about 7 months pregnant and you could tell that Blue knew there was something coming. We have two little girls one is 7 months old and the other is 5 years old. Ever since he came home he has been by my daughters side. He never leaves them even if their sitting on the floor, outside, or going to the bathroom. He has so much personality but he is the sweetest, most well behaved gentle giant you will ever meet.
