duke is a 7-month-old Beagle in Mediapolis, IA, who needs $2,000 for Exam, Test, Shots, Removal of Blockages, X-rays, Neuter.

My Duke came to me as a rescue animal that my husband saved, I got him May 14 of 2023 he is about 7 months old. He is the whole family's best friend but especially my 21-month-old daughter that is on the autism spectrum. He is the best thing that has ever happened to our family.

Duke sleeps with my 21-month-old daughter. They are partners in crime they are always trying to share food. He is so gentle with my daughter and always making sure she is okay. He is such the sweetest dog in the world.

His best friend is my daughter. He makes me smile when he checks on her, and when he comes to see if I'm okay. He also makes me smile when I tell him to spin to get a treat, but he keeps spinning. He also makes me smile when he waits and greets me at the door and when he gives me kisses.

So this is an emergency he ended up eating a diaper I've tried making him puke by the vet's advice he puked and nothing came up besides green and orange puke, so they think he has a blockage in his stomach. He has a knot on his testicales and his back legs and tail are real sore to the point that he yelps when he tries and stands up. He won't even eat dog food all and barley drinks.

We had to pay all of our bills and we don't have an emergency fund I wish I did but you never think your happy energetic puppy would get sick. It would mean the world to us to have our puppy back healthy again like words can't explain. My baby girl just wants her puppy back.
