Chocolate is a 7-year-old Pit Bull in Orlando, FL, who needs $1,600 for the excision of a mast cell tumor.

Chocolate was a rescue that walked into my garage and never left. I had another dog who was about to cross The Rainbow Bridge when he entered my life. I've never had a pitbull but he has brought joy to my life. He has become my 83 year old father's best friend and companion when I'm at work. I have not been able to tell him anything because I truly don't know how he will respond. I'm waiting until I have the stage and treatment plan before I make any decisions about talking to him. I just want to help him because we love him as he is our baby..
