Despite a separation of over half a world, nothing could be stronger than the bond between our human and us. Such was the case with Princess and her Dad who was serving our country in Afghanistan.

Princess‘ Mom came to Labrador Life Line for help after she was hit by a car and sustained a severely fractured tibia. When her Mom contacted LLL, she was on a morphine drip (to help ease her severe pain) and her leg was in a splint.

For Princess–it was a matter of life or death.

The vet stressed that surgery needed to be performed that day or else Princess was at risk for being put down. Upon hearing that his girl might not make it, Dad emailed LLL all the way from Afghanistan saying, “(he) would hate to lose my dog without being able to say goodbye. She truly is my best battle buddy.

This is where Labrador Life Line shines. Because of the urgency of Princess’ condition, the board quickly processed and approved her case for funding in only a couple of hours and Princess had her surgery.

Now when Dad comes home, she can run up to him and give him a big, wet, and sloppy (is there any better?) welcome home kiss.

Remember to keep wagging that tail…it keeps them wondering what you’ve been up to!

Luv and sloppy kisses,

Ginger
