Hello there, my name is Ben and I am funding for myself and partners dog, Puddin. I've always tried my best in life to push through everything difficult that life throws my way, I've worked hard in the hospitality sector for 14 years to give families great holidays from holiday parks to seaside amusements.

Unfortunately, I have now hit a brick road, the sweet, loving dog you see is our baby boy called Puddin he's 10 year old Jackhuahua (but we still call him our puppy).

He is our absolute everything and more to us. This year has been difficult for everyone so I find it difficult too ask for help, but at this point I am begging for help to try and save our boy.

You will see a bill I received today for almost £200 I've paid, myself and family gathered all the money we could find together for this, I have already spent a previous £100 at the vets for him in the same week.

We have found out our boy has a tumor on the inside of his anus, possibly on a gland or his bowel, they are unsure hence the reason we need to take him to a specialist. This is causing him constipation as he can't pass his food. The blood results showed it's not cancer, but the vet has said it's in a very unusual place inside and very large and will require a CT scan and that could cost upto £1500.

We currently have been given medication to help soften his stools to help them pass over the tumor and leave his system, along with antibiotics.

If an operation could be carried out I am aware it would cost more then the extra £1500 I'm asking for, but at least it's a foot in the door and I could work off the rest.

Again, this is oh so very difficult to ask but I must, as the only other option I would have is too put him down, and I am not ready for that and neither is he. He's still so full of life and still being himself (apart from not being able to go to the toilet) I couldn't bare it if I didn't at least try.

Thank you for reading our story and I know situations are hard for everyone but if you could donate a little it would be appreciated.

I do wish you a Merry Christmas, love from Ben,Nicole and Puppy Puddin. XXX
