Brandi Parks, who lives in the Kent community, thought she might have to give up ownership of her beloved pet Chihuahua, Bella after the dog injured its eye and needed surgery that would cost more than $800.

"I let her go outside and she injured her eye somehow," Brandi Parks said. "I'm not exactly sure what happened, but it looked bad and throughout the day it started getting worse."
