Pomcasso: The little dog with a heart condition selling paintings to fund lifesaving surgery
- 8 months ago
A pooch's paintings are funding a $45,000 life-saving operation after it was diagnosed with a heart problem.
Glitter, an 11-year-old blue Pomeranian, was diagnosed with stage C mitral valve disease - life-threatening heart failure - in July last year.
To save her life she needs open heart surgery so her owner, Brittany Echevarria, 29, is raising $40k to fund the surgery and came up with the ingenius astistic idea after being inspired by a painting chimpanzee.
Talented Glitter - nicknamed Pomcasso - paints custom art to sell and has raised a staggering $40,933, enough to cover the cost of the operation.
However, Brittany now needs an extra $5k to cover the cost of shipping and paint supplies for Glitter's art.
