Ugh, I am in tears all over again. This is just the sweetest thing!
It's also nice to put a face to the voice, Trish. You look just as nice as you are!!

Thank you Laura for representing all of us this morning.

Now I have to go check my make-up.

I love him!!!!!!!

Like everybody else here, this story is almost more than I can believe!!! How awesome is this that Laura and Kev are Mom and Son? Who knew?? Laura you done good with that boy.

Thanks so much for going there and getting pictures of Jonny Angel. He is such a sweetheart. I can't stop crying after seeing him looking at the card. Great pictures of him but so so so sad.

I'm thrilled he is out of surgery and doing well so far. YAY!!!!!

In my wildest dreams I could never imagine being so close to all of the happenings in a story like this. This has got to be one of the best days of our Pet Talk lives. THANKS TO LAURA, KEV AND EVERYBODY!!!!!

GET WELL JONNY!!!! YOU WILL BE SO SPOILED WHEN YOU GO HOME!!

What a tearjerker! I'm so happy that JW is out of surgery now. We're still praying that he'll heal nicely and forget about what happened to him. It was so heartwarming to see him w/his little human. I so love dogs. What a special boy he is and so are Kev and Trish and the vet and you, Laura. I'm so proud to "know" you.

I am still in awe, that a post from a total stranger asking for help, just a few days ago, has brought the response, love and contributions from all the people at PT, and even from those who are not PT members. All these folks have opened their hearts and wallets to help, and to bring Jonny back to good health. What an incredible bunch of people from everywhere, all walks of life, and all financial circumstances.
Bless you all, and I just know that the big guy upstairs has taken note of each and every unselfish gesture made by his sometimes wayward flock.

I just spoke to Amber which is in the Consumer Affairs Department at Hill's Science Diet pet foods. They are going to donate Jonny some food. All I have to do is let her know what Dr. David Kergosien recommends. I am awaiting a call from Trish so I can get this info. Is some great news or what?

That's excellent! I can't wait until his jaw and face feel good enough for him to want to eat. Beagles love food!!

Those photos are precious of Jonny and his little one! I am thrilled to hear he is out of surgery.

Can someone provide the link so that I may make a donation for his care? Thank you.

Here is the info for making donations. You will need to speak with Trish. Even if you wish to send in a check, please call and let Trish know.

Phone (985) 626-4862
refferance name Johnny Walker

And here is what was recently posted on Facebook about 45 minutes ago:

Although Johnny Walker did very well during surgery, he still has an uphill battle. He has intestinal parasites as well as heartworm disease. Once we get him through his jaw surgery he will require treatment of the heartworm disease. We will treat the intestinal parasites, too, but the heartworm treatment is not without the potential for severe complications. He is obviously a tough boy. We will take things one step at a time, and so far, so good!

Johnny does look like such a sweet soul. I'm so glad the PTers came together again for such a wonderful pup. Good job everyone, and Johnny, prayers for a quick recovery!
