A 10-year-old hero named Connor Jayne faced an impossible choice: his beloved service dog, Copper — the Doberman who saved him from terrifying nocturnal seizures and calmed his raging anxiety — was now fighting for his own life.

Diagnosed with a devastating spinal condition (Wobbler Disease), Copper needed urgent tests, therapy, and costly treatment. Without hesitation, Connor emptied his playroom, sold every cherished toy, and vowed: no more toys until my best friend is safe.
His selfless love broke the internet. Shared by People and countless hearts, a GoFundMe exploded — raising over $14,000 (some reports even closer to $18,000!) from strangers moved to tears by a boy’s unbreakable bond.

Today, thanks to thousands of kind souls, Copper is healing, regaining strength, walking steadier — forever by Connor’s side, their friendship stronger than ever.
This is pure, raw humanity: one child’s sacrifice igniting a wave of compassion that saved a life. Proof that love — even from a boy and his dog — can move mountains
