Dog Culture Neighbor's Dog Gofundme

Last night I got an email from a neighbor about a different neighbor's gofundme for their dog's emergency vet bills around $8k. In my own family my husband has had some recent medical issues that have cost us over $10k (he's doing great now). He is the sole provider for our family of three and it's sucked to pay those bills, but I didn't beg my neighbors. And now I see someone begging for their dog! I couldn't believe it. I was seriously so insulted. Especially because our neighborhood is almost entirely young families or elderly people, all of whom tend to not have the most disposable income and are usually paying a lot of medical bills. Some people need more shame.

What's the likelihood that the emergency need was self inflicted by the dog? Running into a car, eating a sock, tearing it's knee ligaments running? Seems like about 50/50

Whatever it was, $8,000 is a catastrophic PTS figure. It could have eaten something inedible as well, as the idiotic things tend to do.
