A man from California who credits his certified therapy dog, Lola, for saving his life a countless number of times has raised over $50,000 of his $45,000 goal to give her the surgery she needs to stay alive.
Dog owner Jason Garrett, from Bay area, created a GoFundMe page in December 2019 explaining that his 12-year-old mini-schnauzer had been diagnosed with mitral valve disease, which affects the heart and lungs and is common in dogs. Doctors gave Lola only 8–9 months to live.
