**Help Save Bingo – The Dog Who Saved Me ❤️**
Hi, my name is Mark, and I’m asking for help for my best friend—Bingo.
I met Bingo on the night of July 3rd at 9:00 PM. It was dark, and fireworks were already going off. I was sitting in my driveway when I whistled—and out of nowhere, this small, scared dog came up and jumped straight into my lap.
I remember thinking: *“You must be terrified… come inside.”*
That night, we went to sleep together.
The next morning, I realized the truth—Bingo wasn’t just lost. He was **emaciated, covered in ticks, and clearly abandoned or neglected**. But even then, he trusted me.
I decided right then: *I will save you.*
Over time, Bingo transformed. After baths, training, patience (and yes… a few destroyed rugs ), he became something incredible.
Bingo is not just a pet.
He became my **companion, my support system, and truly my lifeline**.
I am disabled, and over the past 9 years, Bingo has been trained to:
* Provide emotional support
* Alert me when someone is at the door
* Even sense changes in my body and react when my heart episodes begin
He has given me **love, stability, and purpose** every single day.

## Now Bingo Needs Help
Recently, Bingo has developed a serious heart condition.
He has a heart murmur and has started experiencing **fainting episodes (syncope)**. Just this month, he has collapsed multiple times. Watching him go through that is something I can’t describe.
He’s now on life-saving medications:
* Vetmedin
* Furosemide
But this is only the beginning.
He urgently needs further testing and treatment to stabilize his heart and prevent more episodes.

## The Cost
I’ve already received a veterinary estimate totaling approximately:
**$2,134 – $2,341**
And that may not include everything he ultimately needs.

## Why I’m Asking
I have done everything I can for Bingo for 9 years—he gave me his whole heart, and now his heart is failing.
I don’t want to lose him because I can’t afford the care he needs.
If you can donate—even a small amount—it would mean more than I can express. And if you can’t, simply sharing this would help us tremendously.

## ❤️ From Both of Us
Bingo came into my life when he needed saving.
Now I’m asking for help to save him.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
