The fundraiser for Rhonda at a Fremont tavern netted about $2,300 for Dave DiStefano, who said he was overwhelmed by the generosity of those who were moved by his dog's plight.
"It was an amazing night," said DiStefano, whose dog is now in a Lynnwood animal hospital recovering from major esophagus surgery after she ate some brittle bones. "I figured I'd get $1,000 if I was lucky. I didn't have any crazy fantasy, but this little piece is really nice and will take the edge off things."
DiStefano racked up $15,000 in medical bills for his dog's surgery.
The owner of the Dubliner Tavern offered to host the fundraiser for DiStefano who, along with Rhonda, is a Fremont regular.
