My name is Hari and I train with ACT Companion Dog Club's Flyball team X-Factor. I think most people in the Flyball community know Cathy Vaughan and her beloved chocolate Border Collie Austin. Austin has very unfortunately had a serious freak accident with his paw getting stuck in the mechanism of a recliner chair, dislocating his toes and destabilising his wrist. Initial surgery has already cost $4,100 with further expenses anticipated for rehab and potentially another surgery. Austin is a Division 1 Flyball dog and a reliable and integral part of X-Factor's core squad. Cathy is understandably devastated and any little bit towards her chocolate bear will help.
