Duke is a 12-year-old Bird Dog in Benton, AR, who needs $2,000 for Surgery to Remove Tumor.

So my baby Boy Duke was a rescue. I was looking online to adopt a dog in 2011. I came across Duke and his sister Diamond and read there story. They had to be adopted together My fiancee at the time said yes. we pull into where all the dogs were. I looked around and locked eyes on the both of them and I told him that's them! Ever since that day they have been the biggest and best part of my life

My Duke and I since day one clicked.. He is the sweetest funny loving Boy. After all these years he still acts like a puppy which is awesome.. when he goes outside he jumps off the deck goes airborne. Runs like a bunny until he gets to the back fence. Adorable. On those days when he's really really got to go pee and runs to his toys and runs around the house. My Special Boy

Mr. Duke loves his two sisters of course. He is there pee buddy. When my youngest duchess came into Dukes life a year after I got him wow. When she would try and jump on his chair to say hi he would growl and make us laugh. Now they are the best of friends. His favorite toy is a plush toy banana. He's had it for 6 years now. I bought him a bigger one 5 months ago which he loves but not the 1st.

So Duke went to a regular Doctor's appointment about a year and half ago. I had noticed a bump & asked the Doctor. They said to keep a eye on it. This year I brought him to another Doctor because his bump had grown too much for my liking & that's how we found out he has a Tumor. My Duke has a soft tissue sarcoma on ventral sternum which can only be removed thru surgery. Will give him more time

The reason I am asking for help for Duke is because I can't afford it as I've been out of work for 2 years until this past March when I finally got a job. It's just me catching up on bills and taking care of my 3 pups. I just got covid for a 2nd time & lost 4 days pay. Life
