A San Diego service dog with a life-threatening illness is seeking assistance from the community.
William Farnsworth-Flannery, a pure bred Yorkshire Terrier with a potentially fatal tumor, needs a surgery that will cost thousands of dollars.
Estimates have ranged between $3,000 to $10,000. Currently, the dog owner’s GoFundMe page lists $3,000.
In 2008, he was dognapped and held for an $8,000 ransom and, through the ordeal, became gravely hurt, according to the page.
“Will has an undefined mass above his heart that is closing in on his windpipe thus causing very labored breathing,” the page said. “William is now in critical condition and waiting for the life-saving surgery that will allow him to thrive.”
So far, supports have raised $300.
