Princeton "Prince" is a 18 Month Old Bernese Mountain Dog in Petoskey, MI, Who Needs $2,000 for Hospital Stay for 5 days and FHO Surgery with Plate.

15 years ago I was medically retired from the hospital. When I got out I got a service dog who changed my life. She passed away from bone cancer 2 years ago the day after Christmas. I was crushed and I felt like a part of me died. I never thought I would find that love again. 6 months and dozens of puppies later my life was blessed again when Princeton became my new future service dog and hope.

Today, a week before Thanksgiving, a woman knocks and tells me she hit a white dog. We rush him to the vet and it's the worst they have seen. Multiple hip fractures and they dont do the necessary sergery we are referred to Blue Pearl in Grand Rapids, MI. He will need an FOH and a plate or a full hip replacement.

He has been training since he was about 5 months old
However, he's the first puppy my husband and daughter have ever had and they spoil him mercilessly. He goes on all my delivery jobs with me and likes to have his paw held, it soothes us both. We are inseparable and both don't like being separated. I am supposed to be receiving a spinal neck fusion and he is a reason I want to get better.

Because of my pending neck surgery for spinal stenosis I have been working ride share gigs. It's a weekend and not life threatening they won't perform any surgery for at least 5 days and he must be hospitalized and monitored the whole time. I need him to be ok my surgery bud
