I got Prince from Wallace kennels back in Nov 2014 ,as a abandoned puppy on side of a road.He was only 9 months old when we got him and already was a large dog , he is a Great Dane x Bullmastiff . His always been a very lively and playful and full of life puppy . His brought so much love and happiness to the whole family since we have had him . As a family we have been through so much pain and heartache and he was the ray of sunshine we all need to carry on . My children lost they dad at a very young age and now is dealing with there Nan with terminal cancer and lost our other dog 9 months ago to cancer , these are only a few things we had to deal with .We may have rehomed Prince but he saved us as a family not us save him. Going back about 5 months now Prince started being lame and having trouble walking and seemed to be in a lot of pain . We found out that his cruciate ligament in his left knee had gone and that he has hip dysplasia evident in both hips but will need his right hip replaced . With the help from wallace kennels and some very charitable people long side the kennel and some family members i was able to get the cruciate ligament operation done . It was a success , he was in a lot of pain after but all had gone well . After a few weeks of the operation i started to see me baby boy Prince coming back to his normal playful , pain free puppy . Me and the whole family was so happy to think he be able to be a normal puppy again .5 weeks on after his operation he suddenly collapsed in garden and not been able to stand. My heart broke to see him n so much pain not being able to stand . We got our boy to the vets where he had to have x-rays .we got some more bad news his other leg his right cruciate ligament had gone .cos its only been 5 weeks since he had his other knee done is why he cant stand as his put to much pressure on his operated leg all ready and a peace of bone has broke off .I m now having to try and raise the money as fast as possible .
