Blue, Dominik’s beloved and truly the cutest French bulldog, was suddenly hospitalized this weekend and had to undergo emergency surgery for Intervertebral Disc Disorder. What began as a serious situation quickly became far more complex, as his surgery lasted for hours and required the removal of extensive debris to relieve pressure on his spine. Blue is a fighter. He made it through surgery and is now stable, but the road ahead will be challenging. At the moment, his back legs are unresponsive, and he will need extensive rehabilitation with the hope that he can regain the use of his hind legs.

The cost of Blue’s life-saving surgery $14,000, and Dominik will be facing many more expenses for his rehabilitation and ongoing care. Blue is so much more than a pet. He is pure love. He has brought joy, comfort, and laughter to everyone he has met, from neighbors to Dominik’s clients to friends and family here in New York and across Europe. His gentle spirit and unconditional love have touched so many lives. Now it is our turn to be there for him. To support his healing and give back even a small part of the love he has given so freely.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward his medical care and rehabilitation. If you are unable to donate, sharing his story would mean so much. Thank you for helping Blue get the chance he deserves.
