Kodi Samaro Hip Replacement Surgery

Anyone who has met Billy or myself even once, knows how much we love our dog, Kodi (Kodiak) Bear.  He was a surprise Christmas present to me in 2012, and has been our baby ever since.  He has always been an avid frisbee player, and just the greatest dog for the last 4 years.  On October 27th, Kodi was attacked by the neighbor's 3 dogs, resulting in an injury to his right hip.  It quickly became apparent that this wasn't the type of injury that would heal on its own, or even with some simple veterinary care, so we sought out the help of an Orthopedist.  The latest update is that Kodi will need a full hip replacement in his right leg.  Kodi is only 4 years old, and has so much more life to live, so we know that this surgery is the best option for him.  Not only is he young, but the vet explained that Kodi is in fact in a lot of pain. X-rays show that his hip is actually rubbing bone-on-bone, which is incredibly painful, and is causing him to barely be able to walk.  For an active dog who loves spending days running around the yard, this is emotionally painful as well. The funds raised here, which are GREATLY appreciated, will go directly to the cost of Kodi's surgery (which is $10,000), of which his insurance covers $0.  Due to our family growing (Baby Samaro due April 6th) this is an expense we were not planning for at this time. Even your positive thoughts for him during this time are appreciated.
