Service Dog Lucky Diagnosed with Cancer!

On December 28, 2016, Dennis received devastating news, his family member Lucky who he relies on every day was diagnosed with cancer. He will need life saving surgery to remove the tumor and 2 lymph nodes  and has started a progressive anti cancer treament.  We are asking for any assistance to help with his medical bills.  Any amount is appreciated and will be used strictly for Lucky's medical needs.  This is a bond CANNOT be broken they need each other,

Lucky and his Navy Veteran Dennis' story:

Dennis adopted Lucky from the Orange County German Shepherd Rescue 8 years ago. Soon after, Dennis found out that the injuries of war had worsened and he needed neck and back surgery to prevent paralysis.  Dennis soon had plates and screws in his neck and back. Dennis needed help and fast; Lucky stepped up to the plate.

Bully Breed Service Dog Trainer Yvonne evaluated Lucky to make sure he could meet the lifetime needs Dennis would have, and then rigorous training began immediately.  Some of the tasks Lucky does on a daily basis are: balance and recovery, shopping assistance (picking up eggs and placing in hand), retrieve dropped items, and removing articles of clothing.  Lucky is now also a Medical Alert dog for high blood pressure and other medical issues.  Lucky saved Dennis from a stroke, now it's time for Lucky's life to be saved!!!

Again, 100% of all donations will go towards Lucky's medical.  Below is the breakdown of costs, these are estimates received from the hospital that will be doing the surgey. This does not include meds that Lucky will be sent home with. Dennis has decided against chemotherapy after consultation with 3 holistic vets and has started a progressive cancer fighting regiment.
