Tyson Cook is a 9-year-old Mastiff / Pitt Bull in PACIFIC GROVE, CA, who needs $2,000 for Major Surgery.

A friend had adopted him and at 7 months she realized that he got way to big for her small living space. not sure what to do and not wanting to abandon him she asked if I could take him for her. I decided to name him Tyson because he was so big and strong just like Mike Tyson. Hes been a loyal an trusting companion for my family , while protecting and sharing his domain with our other puppy Koda.

He loves to sleep either on or right next to us on our bed snoring as loud as thunder ( even if hes not asleep) he loves to cuddle , or play. He loves children and really enjoys having playdate's with anyone at anytime. His best friend is our puppy Koda who is half his size and age but he is so sweet an gentle like a marshmallow they play all day long. He is a BIG BIG brother to my kids and puppy.

This is an unexpected and sudden impacts to our family. While I do work full time, but with everything else goin on its not consistent these days. We already spent the pet emergency on the x-rays and exams. He is a long time member of my family, I'd love it to stay that way.

He's always been a survivor all his life. healthy as a horse. But we noticed he was having trouble urinating we took him to the only vet open and he got x-rays and we were told he had Bladder Stones. They explained were able to push them back into his bladder to relief the pain but it was only temporary, he will need emergency surgery to remove them or else he wont be able make it for very long.

Tyson is definitely one of a kind, He always enjoys jumping into waves in the ocean long walks on the beach, or basking in the sun whenever an however long he can. Hes constantly making us smile or laugh, either by playing with Koda or chasing water rainbows in the yard by the sprinkler. He loves long naps, bacon and sloppy joes, playing video games or his favorite tug - of - war with lill Koda .
