Bear came to us in July of 2019 as a rescue. Him and his brother were given up because they both have heart murmurs. We knew Bear's life could be cut short because of his heart, but when we saw him on the rescues facebook page we knew we needed him in our family. We applied and met with the rescue and we were a match right away. Bear is the life of our house. Since the day he showed up as a puppy, he's been the most loving, caring, and playful dog we have ever had. He will jump into our kids beds every night and lay with them for a few minutes before they fall asleep. He loves to play outside with us and will always hunt down a good stick to sit and chew in any shady spot with his brother, Tucker the bulldog. As a family, we will put everything we can towards the surgery cost. However, we need help closing the gap. We are hoping to raise funds to at least get one eye done, if not both. He is still a baby, only 17 months old, and we want him to have a good life. Two months ago Bear was walking around the house squinting his left eye and pawing at it. We took him to the vet (Dr. Randy at Marshall VCA) and we were told he has an "immature cataract". Dr. Randy told us that he had only read about this in school but had never seen it. He told us we could wait for surgery because his second eye was good. A month later the other eye developed the same issue. I have had a lot of dogs in my life, but never one with as much personality as Bear. There is nothing better than when he brings his favorite toy to us every morning, whenever we come home, or if he just gets a spurt of energy. When he was a puppy we got him a carpet that we can hide treats in and he still loves it more than anything over a year later - with or without treats.
