Frankie’s Friends helped Nanuk receive a hernia repair surgery.
“There are moments when you realize that the thread connecting you to others is stronger than you knew — and this is one of them.
Nanuk has spent his whole life offering his particular medicine to everyone who needs it: a steady gaze, a full-body lean, a warm presence that says I am here without a single word. He has done this for me, for my 98-year-old great-aunt Jane, for a neighbor with Alzheimer’s, for strangers in crisis, for children in meadows. He has never kept his gifts to himself.
To receive help from Frankie’s Friends — from people who understand what it means to fight for an animal who has given everything — is to feel that same medicine returned. You have leaned back. You have said we are here.”
