Please help "Gauge" the Black Lab.

Hi!  My name is Gauge and I am a 5 year old loveable Black Lab.  I love to run & play, be outside, go swimming, but recently I hurt my leg.  My Daddy took me to the Vet & they said I tore my ACL & need surgery.  I’m really sad right now because I can’t walk, play ball or chase squirrels. My Daddy is my best friend and it is killing him to see me like this.  You see, it’s just me & him and it’s my job to be his companion, pal, and buddy! You see, when we go for walks and play he gets outside and gets his exercise too. It works both ways, I need him he needs me.  If you’re still reading this then I am sure you understand!  My Daddy wants to make me better but the surgery is a lot of money and we need help to pay for it.  The vet said that after the operation, and physical therapy that I will be able to walk, play ball again and just maybe chase squirrels!  (I really want to catch that squirrel.) Anything you can do to help would be so appreciated.  We have been very lucky and have always done our best to pay it forward.  Never did we think we would be on the other side of the coin and need your help.  I want to say “Thank You” in advance!  Your help means the world to me and my pal.  Love Gauge
