Luko & Marcus
Hi, my name is Luko and I am a 8 year old Weimaraner boy. I am a very happy and lucky dog growing up with my buddy Marcus, who takes really good care of me. He loves me, feeds me the best food, walks with me everyday as long as possible, hugs me all the time, plays with me and makes sure I am okay. I feel very safe and secure with him and want to stay with Marcus as long as possible. We are Dutch but both live in Portugal where we live life the fullest and enjoy it as much as possible, because life is a great gift and must not forget we are fortunate to enjoy it everyday as long as you live! But, and here is the thing, I am sick. Very sick, and I need help. They discovered a tumor around my heart, which is bleeding. This does not only make me sick and uncomfortable, it is also life threatening. I see that this does make Marcus very sad, and it breaks my heart. I want te keep making Marcus happy, because He is such a great companion. Marcus leeds a simple but beautiful lifestyle which I admire a lot. He respects me, other animals, nature and people as well. And He protects this when- and whereever He can. That also gives him the opportunity to have much time for me, and take extra care as well. But this comes with a downside, because He does not have or earn much money. Although He really tries his best! Especially because of me. He not only loves me but He also feels very responsible. The fact that I have cancer now makes it even harder for Marcus, since He lost his sweet and deer sister to cancer a few yours ago and is still very sad about it. During this time I helped him a lot by always being loyal, happy and joyful. I let him know He is not alone and I am there for him all the time. But now I need help and Marcus is struggling with it. He wants to give me the best care there is, but the money does not allow it. And I don't want to die yet, please. I want to be happy and healthy for some more years and take care of Marcus as well. I want to smell the flowers, the ocean and chase butterflies. And most of all I don't want to make Marcus sad and unhappy, so I need to fix this! With an operation and some very good treatment I might stick around for some more years and I would really appreciate it if you can help me with this. I hate asking for help, but this one is a must. Please help me!
