Hello,

A good friend of mine, who lives in the Netherlands, breeds Leonbergers. She
has adopted a crippled Leonbergerpup. He isn't able to use his back legs.
The pup has been named Chai, whichs means life.

He was born with a hernia, and the breeder took it away from his mother to
die. Three days went along, and the pup refused to die. The breeder then
took it back to his mom, so it could drink again.

My friend heard of the situation and instantly decided to give Chai a
chance. He has been taken to hospital and x-rays were made. A hernia was
diagnozed. The chances he will be able to walk after surgery are promising,
according to the veterinarians.

But such an operation costs much money. So, if anyone wants to help, all
help is welcome. Also tips on how to help him in other ways are very welcome

Take a look at: http://www.natodelamore.nl/ for some of his pictures.

Thank you in advance.
