Dottie is a 3-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Shih Tzu mix in Crestwood, KY, who needs $606 for removal of a tumor on her snout.

My husband wanted another small dog to replace one who got out and was fatally hit by a car. I did not want another dog but he fell in love with this 5 month old puppy who needed to be re-homed. Since she had "dots" on her face he named her Dottie. She is definitely "his" dog, but when I got sick last year she stayed by my side instead of on his lap so she won me over and is now "our" dog!
