This is my little dog - Barney - he is an 8 year old Lhasa Apso who should have at least another 8 - 10 years ahead of him. Sadly however, on 5th June this year we were given the devastating news that Barney has cancer of the brain - a large, fast growing tumour which needs urgent treatment in order to save his life. Barney needs treatment at the leading Canine Cancer Centre in the UK and this treatment needs to start immediately. Barney will need brain surgery to remove the tumour and this will have to be followed up with radiotherapy to ensure any surrounding cancer cells which will have been left behind, have been destroyed.  This treatment is going to cost £15,000 minimum - and without this Barney will die within the next 1 - 2 months.  Barney is a treasured and much loved member of our family. He is adored by all, particularly my 7 year old niece and 5 year old nephew, who have grown up with him, have never known - and could not imagine - life without him. Please, if you could look into your hearts and help me to raise the much needed funds to save my beautiful Barney's life I would be forever grateful.
