"We know Arthur will do outstanding because his happy, peaceful attitude is strong," said the family. "Arthur loves just being alive and we want him to continue that way."

The family said they are asking for help in treatment costs. They said they have maxed out their vet credit for the surgery and care. Arthur had to have his leg removed during the surgery.
