Cash is a ten-month-old service dog in training. Last night some relatives of his handler took him outside, without the handler's knowledge or consent, not on a leash, and he was hit by a car and injured. Frightened and hurt, he ran into the woods. After searching for him all night, he was finally found today. He has multiple cuts and infected insect bites, is dehydrated, and has a broken jaw. He needs surgery by a specialist to treat the broken jaw.
I think the relatives that let him out should be footing the bill, but apparently people that aren't responsible about not letting someone else's dog outside are also not very responsible about paying for that dog's medical bills when the dog gets injured after they let it outside. Go figure.
Anyway, the dog's handler needs help to cover the medical bills. If you're able to help at all, here's where to do it: http://www.youcaring.com/pet-expenses/injured-service-dog-needs-your-help-/71268
I gave something, and if I can afford it, you can, too.
