Guinness is a 5 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Lake Villa, IL, who needs $2,000 for 5 treatments of Tanovea.

Almost 3 years ago I got a text from my daughter who had been driving to work, "so this happened" followed by the picture above of a dog laying on her jeep seat. He was just sitting on the side of the road and as soon as she stopped and opened the door he jumped right in. We tried police and lost pet sites, to no avail. We decided instead of giving him up, to integrate him into our home.

When we Integrated him into our home with our 2 rescues, the vets best guess was he was 2 to 2.5 years old. That would put him at 5-6 now. In May we felt some lumps in his neck, turned out to be lymphoma. We did a full round of Doxorubicin which put him into remission. Recently the lumps started to return. The oncologist suggested Tanovea which is newer, more effective and much more expensive.

Guinness has brought so much joy to our household. He absolutely loves our grandkids, going on car rides, playing with friends dogs. And always looking for cuddles. He has become such an integral part of our family and is definitely the spoiled baby. It's mind boggling he was left on the side of the rode, a Covid dog is how it was put to us. It seems way too soon for his story to end.

My wife has lost 1 of her 2 part time jobs, I'm trying to help with 2 kids going to college and helping all I can with my grandkids due to a separation. He is everyone's cuddle buddy and everyone's playmates I will do everything in my power to get him healthy and with us.
