The responsibility is his. If you own a dog you have to be prepared to pay for it. Don’t fall for his emotional blackmail. Yes you love the dog but that doesn’t mean you should be pressurised into for paying for it. It is a vast sum of money. Even if I could easily afford it I wouldn’t be granting this request for funds whether as a loan or a gift.

I'm afraid I wouldn't offer to pay for this dog to have the operation.
We took out pet insurance fir every dog we have owned.
Is there a PDSA clinic near you, they do free or reduced cost treatment which includes surgery.
Here is a link to their eligibility form. Perhaps that will help.

Thats a huge amount of money to ask from someone!

IF you choose to pay - I would want a strict repayment schedule. Even if/Especially if the dog still dies.

I dont think I could pay though.

I have a friend whose dog needs an op which is going to cost £2000. He has asked me if I could pay it. I love the dog but she is not mine. I feel it is alot of money but also feel that I don't want to see her suffer. What am I to do? I am so torn.... I feel guilty if I don't pay as he can't afford it but pressured to pay. I am really upset and don't know what to do. Please give me your opinions. Thank you.
