Maurice is 14-year-old miniature poodle in Lawndale, CA, who needs $2,000 for radiation of the tumor pressing against his brain.

I wasn't looking for a dog when i got Maurice. We had a bond from day one and it was so obvious that my friend who just bought him as a baby gave him to me. We traveled across the country and back together. He has always been right by my side . He will play hide and seek and hide from me and sit there and watch me call his name and just when I am about to freak out cause i cant find him he will walk out from wherever he is hiding and have the biggest grim on his face. He loves to play chase. If it runs he will chase it and expect for it to chase him back. I never go anywhere without him. Our family is made up of me and him. all we have is each other. He even rode in the ambulance and stayed in the hospital for 3 days with me. He is my best friend and he has never let me down . I hope I don't him down by not being able to pay for the treatment that will save his life.
