Frankie’s Friends National Fund helped Rudder receive lifesaving surgery for a malignant tumor. This is a note from Rudder’s family. “Your donation towards Rudders cancer treatment will change more lives than you know. Rudder has touched the lives of so many people, and to know him is to love him.When my husband and I first got Rudder, it was to help with my diagnosis of major depression. As it turns out, he needed me just as much as I needed him. Loving and caring for Rudder is the best thing I have ever gotten to experience.To know that your donation can give Rudder more time to change the lives of even more people brings a completely new definition to the word gratitude.You ask what it would mean to me if approved for assistance? It would mean getting a second chance for my sweet boy.” — Rudder's Family Comment
