Puppy cuteness for your Friday - and a plea for help.Dear wee Fog was found injured injured in central Otago, possibly having fallen from a moving vehicle. The kindness of a passerby got him to Vetlife Alexandra, who diagnosed a fractured femur. Dunedin Dog Rescue has provided $1000, and weve underwritten the approximately $3000 still needed to meet Fogs costs.Luckily for Fog, surgery was successful and hes well on the mend.Vet team member Kaila says that despite everything, Fog has been nothing but sweet, calm, and trusting. Heโ€™s stolen the hearts of every staff member at the clinic, and itโ€™s clear to all of us that heโ€™s something special. Heโ€™s easy to love, full of gentle tail wags, curious eyes, and a soft nature thatโ€™s hard to walk away from.Can you help us fund Fogs surgery: https://buy.stripe.com/3cs5loeT16S9eoU28b or direct via internet banking to: The Retired Working Dogs NZ Charitable Trust 03-0725-0001027-000.
