Duke is our family dog and the absolute best, sweetest Goldendoodle in the world. Our two little girls adore him, and he’s been a constant source of love and comfort for our family. On Easter, a relative left a stuffed animal at our house that, for some reason, caught Duke’s attention. He’s never eaten a stuffed animal before, but this time he did—and unfortunately, it had a small silver ring attached. The ring became lodged in his stomach and is now stuck in his small intestine, so he needs urgent surgery to unblock it. Duke is only 4 years old and has always been healthy until now.

The funds raised will go directly to Duke’s surgery, which is needed to remove the blockage and help him recover. This will cover the cost of the procedure and ensure he gets the care he needs to come home to our family. We are heartbroken to see him in pain and want nothing more than to help him heal so he can be back with us, especially our girls who miss him dearly.

We would be grateful for any support people can give. Duke has saved our family in more ways than one—he was there for my little girl when she was sick, and he helped me through postpartum depression. Any help means the world to us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering a donation to help Duke.
