Speaker 3 (00:27):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Samantha listens to us in Albuquerque? Oh right, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I've been listening to the podcast for a long time now,
so longtime listener.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Thank you. Yeah, we used to be on the air
in Albuquerque and they took us off.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I have no idea why, but we have a lot
of people that listen to the podcast, so thank you
for that.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, no problem. We love you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
So what's your story?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
So my story? I reached out to you, John Jay, Google,
Love Pop Foundation and the great work that you guys do.
My seven and a half year old rescue pit bull
was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which is a aggressive bone
cancer in her hind leg and the tumor was so
aggressive that within two weeks she's no longer able to
(01:14):
walk on it and she needs an immediate amputation. So
a little bit about Penny, and excuse me if I
get a little cheery eyed. So Penny was rescued. She
was born into a pitbull dog fighting ring and the
ring was raided basically, and she was rescued along with
(01:37):
her litter. So when they had rescued her, her litter
consisted of ten puppies, but only five of them survived,
and Penny was one of them. And she had actually
been attacked by her birth mother and was bitten on
the side of the face, so she's missing basically all
the teeth on her left side. Yeah, so she's overcome
(01:59):
a lot, but since then she's just been the light
of everyone's world. Everybody who comes in contact with her
loves her, absolutely loved her. So really devastated to hear
about this aggressive cancer. So we reached out to John
Jay and the Love Pup Foundation to see if they
could do anything to help us.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So I was reading your story right, which is everything
you just said, and then you send pictures of Penny,
like you know, I hear piple stuff you know, the
piple vibe and kind of like you know, and then
and then she picture her face and I was like,
oh my gosh, she looks like baby gave her a
new light.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, she's a little half and half, a little white
little her face, a little half and half face. But yeah,
she's she's had such a great personality. And I don't
know if you can tell by the picture since she's
missing teeth on the left side, her tongue kind of
hangs out.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And then here's the here's the tumor on her leg.
It's really bad tumor. Now you know, she can have
a great life.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
With only three legs exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
That's what they told us. I was so scared about
an amputation. But once I did the research, I found
out that a lot a lot of dogs just bounce
back very quickly and it's a it's a pretty easy
surgery for them.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So how much money do you because you said you
also lost.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Your job, right, Yeah, I was recently laid off. So
when we went to get quotes for the surgery, the
surgery comes out to about forty seven dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, So just trying to make it work and trying
to see what we can know what we can do
for her.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But that's not what you asked me for.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh well, I mean, I'm just asked for help for
the surgery, so I can come up with about half
of it, but hoping that amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You asked me for how much nineteen hundred? Yeah, she
asked me for nineteen hundred. Well that's different. You just
took ticking one leg, right, not all four it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So my wife is out of town, right, So she's
in New York, and so we have that three hour
time difference. And I've been trying to coordinate with her
and see if we can help. And I talked to
her early this morning and she was like, because she
started this program called The Dog Is Forever, so whenever
people have and you can tell Samantha right, you could
see her story.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Tell that this dog is not just a dog.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So it was like, so Blake was like, she said,
Blake goes, we can clear fifteen hundred for her, right,
And then I said to Blake, I go, she needs
nineteen hundred. I said, she goes, Okay, go ahead and
do nineteen hundred. So I have great approval for nineteen
hundred oh great.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
