He could have bought a real nice bay boat for that.

Dumb.

Great story. Reminded me of our Golden we just had to put down after 15 years. Are there onions in here?

If he wanted to thank the vet he should've given him the 6 million.

That is so sweet. The love this guy has for his dog is amazing. Spending that much money just to thank the vet, with no other motive, is so pure. I'm going to buy a bunch of WeatherTech products to support this selfles.... Hey wait a minute.

He still made damn sure to put his website in huge letters on the commercial.

$6 million will turn a profit for him. There's no such thing as an unselfish good deed.

THIS!

There were a couple weathertech plugs in there. They know most of their customers are also dog lovers.

Great commercial.

Don't care about the money spent. That's a good dog and I'm glad he's doing well.

If I'm the vet, I'd be livid. A $6MM thank you card.

He could have donated to people whose dog needs saving from a deadly cancer but don't have the funds to have it done.

There are shelters all over this country that could've used help.

It's their money but whatever.
