Dominic Locatelli is a 12-year-old boy from San Diego, California. Â Just like any kid on summer break, Dominic set himself up with a stand selling lemonade and cookies to passers by out in front of his home. Â What makes his stand unique among all the others? Â He did it to raise money for a sick dog, and it’s not even his!
Rosie, a six-month-old Yorkie is actually a dog that resides with friends of Dominic’s parents. Â After hearing about the dog needing surgery, it reminded him of his own dog. Â His 17-year-old Yorkie had passed recently, and remembered how sad it made him. Â So even though he didn’t really know Rosie, he set out to help anyway.
Dominic got to meet Rosie this past Sunday. Â Her humans brought her over to meet the amazing you man, and thank him personally for his efforts. Â Along with his stand, his GoFundMe.com page has brought in over $5,000 towards the medical bills. Â If you’d like to find out more, you can click here.
