Help Duncan Joseph Recover From His Botched Surgery

Alyson Pagano, a former Hawthorne resident, was relieved and touched by those around the country, and world, who helped her raise funds for a surgery that would save her handsome dog Duncan Joseph’s leg from amputation.

She, however, was doubly horrified to find out that the surgery wasn’t done correctly, and had to be done again. 

A screw broke, causing the metal plate and rod in the Japanese Chin’s leg to bend. Though the New York City Hospital finally agreed to do the surgery for free, Pagano is stuck with a new $3,000 bill for x-rays, medicine and follow-up visits.

Though, she hates to hold her hand out a second time, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Any donation—even $1 or two— to help Dunkie J get back on his feet again is greatly appreciated. For more information, and if you are able to make a donation please click here. Click here to see Duncan's Facebook page.
