Aid Bruno's Battle with Tumor and Recovery

I believe everyone at one point or another has heard the phrase “man’s best friend” in reference to our beloved dogs. Bruno has spent his entire life being exactly that to Matthew, myself, and our closest friends and family along with everyone he has ever come across. Bruno is a gentle giant, incredibly intelligent, kind, playful, and all around an amazing animal. He has seen all the Adirondack Fire Towers with his best friend and owner Matthew. He has accompanied us on every single hike we’ve done, including even some of the high peaks. Bruno has accomplished an incredible amount in only eleven years, including being an amazing older brother to our other dog Copper and to our cat Ava as well.

However, recently Bruno has developed a tumor that has ruptured in his spleen, causing internal bleeding. This news absolutely destroyed us. We watched him go from an energetic, playful, and fun-loving dog to deprived of all energy and nutrients in just under a day. Upon taking him to the vet, there is an immense amount of hope in his recovery after this surgery to remove his spleen and therefore the tumor as well. Bruno is incredibly healthy outside of this tumor, as confirmed by his longtime veterinarian.

We are asking for anyone who can spare to help us and Bruno out with this sudden medical emergency. I’m sure everyone knows how insane vet costs are and truly how unfair that can be in sudden situations like this. Your donations will be immensely helpful in helping us be able to afford Bruno’s testing prior to the surgery and his spleen removal surgery this week.

We truly thank you all for reading this, your consideration, and possibly donations. Bruno is one hell of a dog with so much life left in him, and we want to ensure we are able to give him that for as long as we possibly can. Thank you.
