Years ago, my girlfriend wore me down enough to go “just look” at a puppy she saw online during a trip back to our hometown of Dallas. The moment the door opened and and I saw Dak, I knew we weren’t leaving without him. What I didn’t know was how drastically this little four- legged creature would change..countine So back in August of this year, I noticed a significant difference in the amount of times that Dak would potty every day and the amount of quantity per session. Both we're around six times more than usual. I didn't think much of it thinking it was his age and maybe a changing of a system since he's hitting middle age. So around September I noticed he had an ear irritation....countine A master at the art of tug of war. A laser light enthusiast. Extreme enthusiast. Excellent PT and a great calorie burner. Trick is making your dog feel like they accomplished something by catching the actual night. A feeling of achievement. And encouragement. Dak loved it. He is also very vocal. He has around 25 different barks squeals house and haulers. All of them mean something significant..cou I was laid off during the pandemic..cell tower repairman. And so we continue to be together 24/7. After the pandemic we couldn't stand to be apart from each other so I'll work from there on out was side jobs so we could work together. Time is our most precious commodity..cou

REDDING, CA

I'm writing this because my dog, Dak, needs help — and right now you guys are the only way Dak has a chance. Dak is not “just a dog” to me. He is my last living family member. I’ve had him since he was four weeks old. He is 71/2 years old now. I didn’t plan on getting dog.. but as the great ones do he found me. He is my soulmate, my best friend, my son, my better half by far. He has a tumor that is a highly aggressive form of cancer. Is located in his rare abdominal bias anal cavity. So it would be a soft tissue surgery. The doctors the VCA in Redding opened him up just to see the size of it (the tumor) and closed him back up again.i had raised $ 1,500 and they agreed to do it till they saw that it was going to be more expensive than they originally "quoted", and deci Dak has become a piece of my soul. My teacher. My hero. Dogs are the closest example we have on this earth of unconditional love — the kind of love God created for us. The kind that only he is able to give us. But dogs come close. Loyalty is what people always mention first, but forgiveness is their real superpower. Dak has shown me grace, faithfulness, and goodness in ways no human ever has. I am begging you to consider helping us.I will follow every instruction, every precaution, every step needed to support his recovery. I am committed to him probably more so than you've ever seen any man to any dog. I’m not asking for a miracle. I’m only asking for the chance
