I have a friend whose dog needs an op which is going to cost £2000. He has asked me if I could pay it. I love the dog but she is not mine. I feel it is alot of money but also feel that I don't want to see her suffer. What am I to do? I am so torn.... I feel guilty if I don't pay as he can't afford it but pressured to pay. I am really upset and don't know what to do. Please give me your opinions. Thank you.

Poor dog. I’m afraid I would help out. Can’t bear the thought of an animal suffering, or being euthanised unnecessarily.

You’re not alone there Summerfly. Let’s hope it is being treated.

I doubt there is anything wrong with the dog. Lucyloo has explained that she has been played (nothing to feel bad about; it is so easy to fall for the con) and that this was the last in a long line of requests. He pushed it too far and luckily Lucyloo did not fall for the emotional blackmail. Don't worry about the dog!!

If you read the thread you will see the dog has the equivalent of breast cancer. That’s something to worry about.
