Ollie is an eight-year-old English Bulldog in Springfield, MO, who needs $760 for urgent eye surgery.

Ruby D. has suffered a tremendous amount of heartbreak in her life. Her dog, Ollie, taught her to heal and love.

"Ollie came into my life in 2013," Ruby tells Waggle. "He was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. I grew up with a lot of trauma and abuse and never bonded with anyone. My doctor thought it would be good to get a fur baby. Ollie became my emotional support dog."

And over the years, the pair developed an inseparable bond. "If I'm having a hard time, Ollie will push my arm up with his head, so it goes around him and then snuggle beside me. When he's ready for bed, and I'm not, he'll pull the blanket off and bring it to me. If he wants my attention, he'll bring the bathroom rug to me. He's very smart," Ruby says.

So when Ollie woke up with a swollen red eye last week, Ruby worried and rushed him to the animal hospital. "Dr. Hadley at Strafford Veterinary Clinic found a large corneal ulcer in his left eye. She needs to perform an eye tuck on his eyelids. This surgery is critical, or Ollie could lose his eye. Ollie and I have been very blessed with his health. He's not had a lot of health issues as some English Bulldogs do."

But Ruby is devastated because she can't afford Ollie's surgery. She launched this Waggle campaign hoping kind-hearted pet lovers might help her beloved dog.

"Ollie is all I have," she says. "I'll do anything for him. I lost my aunt last year and my mom three weeks later to cancer. I took care of my mom and aunt and paid the rent and bills. I'm on disability. Since their passing, I've drained my savings and have taken on 100% of the responsibilities. This surgery for Ollie weighs on me heavily because he truly needs it. Please help."
