Chris + Franky

Franky lost his ear flaps when he was used as a bait dog and left for dead. In 2019 Chris, a highly decorated combat veteran, was inspired to save him. He was in Afghanistan when he learned about the dog's plight through social media. For the rest of his life, Franky will require ongoing ear care, which he receives thanks to our supporters' compassion and generosity.
