Laura O'Connor hasn't added a story.
My name is Wyatt. I'm an 8 year-old pit bull and my dad says I'm the best boy ever. Recently, my hind leg started to swell. My dad, Carl Mitchell, took me to the vet four times to get it checked. After all kinds of medicine and treatment, the doctor said my leg would have to be amputated. I don't know what that means, but I know it costs a lot of money. My dad currently works at the Safe Haven Thrift Store. A couple of weeks ago he was offered a job at a well-known pit bull rescue in New Orleans. We were both so excited to go there...but then I got sick. If it weren't for me being sick, we would already be there. But my dad refuses to leave me because he says I'm the most important thing in his life. We have been together since I was only a year old and we have been through a lot. I was the only thing my dad had when he started going through a rehab program over a year ago. Now, with my help, my dad has been sober for 15 months. I'm so proud of him. I want more than anything for my dad to be able to get to his dream job in New Orleans. If you could help us out, even a little bit, it would mean the world to us.
All proceeds raised from this campaign will go directly to Wyatt's owner, Carl. The funds will be used to pay veterinarian costs, which are expected to be over $5,000. Any money raised above the veterinarian costs will be used to help Wyatt & Carl get to New Orleans, which is where Carl's dream job awaits.
