If you haven't already heard

we wanted to share an amazing story with you about sweet Lentil.

LENTIL BLOWS UP THE INTERNET!

If you've had trouble getting through to the website over the past week, you can thank an adorable little puppy called Lentil! He has been featured on websites from Philadelphia to Nigeria, and in English, German, Italian, and even Romanian! New York Daily News, Cute Overload, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and Philebrity have all told his story. His Facebook page is closing in on 30,000 "likes" and we are humbled and delighted at the generous outpouring of good wishes and sponsorships for the little bean. We are so grateful.

Lentil's condition, cleft palate, is one FBRN has seen before and successfully repaired with help from our sponsors and talented surgeons. You may remember Roma and Clifford. Though we have had successes with two other cleft palate puppies, Lentil's cleft palate is quite serious, and he is in constant danger of aspirating fluid into his lungs, which could cause pneumonia. He is being fed via feeding tube every 3 hours, round the clock. We are currently consulting with vets at a couple of university vet schools to see when he might be eligible for surgery, but we believe it will be at least two months in the future, if not longer.

Meanwhile, we, with the rest of the entire world, are enchanted by the photos and videos of Lentil his foster mom is sharing. And, with the rest of the world, we are holding our breath and hoping for the very best for wee Lentil.

Paws crossed for Lentil
