The family of Bruno is reaching out to raise money to help pay for his new knees. All funds will be used for Bruno's knees and therapy!

Bruno's story is not very long because he is still a young pup. We picked Bruno up when he was three months old and let me tell you it was love at first sight. He was just one big fur ball and I could tell he was going to be a great companion and also a great addition to our family.
Bruno is a 3 year old Saint Bernard that has run into some bad luck. A week ago he ruptured his cruciate (ACL) and needed surgery. Once he was in surgery the Dr also found that his other cruciate (ACL) had a tear and was going to also need to be repaired. This has become a very big financial strain on us and because he is our child we will do anything we can to make him better.
The Surgery he just had on his ruptured cruciate was just under $ 3,800.00 and this will be the cost for the other leg also. He is also going to need to do some therapy if we want his legs to get strong again. We understand that times are difficult for many at this time as it is difficult for us also. But we are asking if you can find it in your heart to try and help us make a better life for our saint.
Thank you all for your donations, support and most importantly Bruno thanks you for his new knees.

If you would prefer to mail a check, you may contact me for further information at j.rautio5222@gmail.com.

Hugs for Bruno's New Knees.

Seven Weeks out

April 28th, 2011

It has been a very hard seven weeks but each day gets easier. Bruno has been going on short walks 2-3 times a day and seems to be handling them great. If I would let him he would walk for hours. He is starting to put some pounds back on after losing 20 when he first got hurt and his therapy sessions are having a huge impact on his recovery. I do not look forward to the day we have to have his other knee done but I am afraid that it is not something we can ignore. Anyway, just wanted to give a update and I apologize for not doing it sooner but I was not sure how to do it and my time is limited with caring for Bruno. Thanks again to everyone that has donated and I will try and make updates more often.
