Sir Cuddles is a five-month-old Bohemian Shepherd puppy in Prescott, AZ, who needs $1,200 for emergency surgery.

Sometimes your life changes when you least expect it!

That's what happened to Bonnie P. She was in a Walmart parking lot recently and started chatting with a couple who had a puppy. "I asked them if I could pet him, and we struck up a conversation," Bonnie tells Waggle. "I found out they were homeless, camping, and couldn't work because they couldn't leave the puppy alone at the campsite. So now I have a puppy!"

Bonnie doesn't regret bringing the pup home one bit. He fit in instantly. "His name was Lakota when I got him. My daughter said we should name him Duke. My boyfriend said we should call him Cuddles cause he cuddles with us on our bed. My granddaughter called him Sir. So I decided to name him Sir Cuddles, the Duke of Lakota. I recently rescued a seven-year-old German Shepherd whom he loves to follow around."

And though this puppy has a royal name, he is very similar to other puppies who like to chew on everything they should not! He now needs emergency surgery at Prescott Animal Hospital. "Sir Cuddles ate something that he shouldn't have. He has a blockage that has made him sick. He hasn't eaten or drank in four days. He just lays in the corner, and if I can get him out of the corner, he barely wags his tail. Poor baby is sick, and I'm worried about him," Bonnie says.

Bonnie can't afford the operation and is pleading for generous pet lovers to give to his campaign so he can get the care he needs. "Last month, I lost my income," she says. "I haven't got the money to pay for his surgery. I'm at a loss over what to do. I was trying to make some cash last week to pay for my electricity by doing deliveries when my tire on the car had a blowout. Now I'm just devastated, and he is suffering in pain."
