Despite his various illnesses, Gus had a pure heart. He was the nicest and warmest dog in the entire organization; it was hard not to fall in love with him, and his cause so touched the hearts of hundreds of people.

"FUNDS ARE REQUIRED! I don't understand how somebody could look at a dog in this condition and do nothing. Gus will require surgery and prolonged medical care from our doctors. "PLEASE HELP US TO HELP GUS," the organization begged Internet users via social media.
