Heartfelt: Boy Sells Beloved Pokémon Cards To Save Sick Dog

When 8-year-old Virginia resident Bryson Kliemann’s dog got sick, he quickly decided to sell his most cherished belongings to pay for the medical bills.

“His Pokémon cards are his most prized possession,” his mother, 26-year-old Kimberly Woodruff, told USA Today. His 4-month-old black lab puppy Bruce, however, is his “best friend.” . . .

To save money, Woodruff self-administered the puppy’s vaccines, but didn’t realize they needed to be refrigerated, the publication reported. Soon, Bruce became sick, thin, refused to leave his cage and lost his playful puppy manner. Veterinarians told Woodruff that Bruce had parvo, a potentially fatal virus that required at least $655 to treat — and possibly more if he required overnight stays at the animal hospital. . .

The next day, Bryson decided that in addition to praying, he’d also raise money by selling the lockboxes of Pokémon cards he’d been collecting since he was 4. . .

She posted a photo of her son’s stand in a local Facebook group and created a GoFundMe so nonlocal friends could contribute. (Read more from “Heartfelt: Boy Sells Beloved Pokémon Cards To Save Sick Dog” HERE)
