“He was the reason I kept going when I wanted to give up,” he continued.
As much as Franklin is unique to Jason, lives are full of ups and downs, and the two best friends sure have experienced a lot of difficulties.
Jason went from losing a job and entering a dark place in his life to receiving a new job and the help he needed for his mental health. On the other hand, Franklin also had his struggle as he caught distemper, even though he was vaccinated.
“On one morning, I woke up to see Franklin had several swelling in his neck and face,” Jason wrote. “I immediately took him to the hospital and over-drafted my account to get him seen by a vet.”
It turned out the sweet little Franklin had developed an abscess in his lymph node that had to be removed surgically. And being Franklin’s family, Jason couldn’t bear seeing his beloved pup suffering a bit.
“Watching him deteriorate in the following days was heartbreaking, and he deserves a chance to live,” Jason wrote.
“He is still a relatively young dog at seven years old, and he has so much more life to live.”
There are currently 125 donors on the GoFunMe page with $2,310 fundraised. Jason also updated the community on Franklin’s health improvement. Finally, Jason showed that Franklin could now go back to the dog parks with a video of relief and excitement.
“I can’t thank the kind folks from the #TrussBus for making this possible,” Jason expressed his gratitude on the April 4 update. “I don’t know how I can ever repay the kindness shown to us and when I’m back on my feet someday will be paying it forward.”
Although Franklin is back to his usual health, he still expects a few follow-up checkups. So please visit the page here if you want to support Jason and Franklin.
