This feel good story just melted our hearts. 8 year old Bryson Kliemann is a big fan of Pokemon...and has a bunch of cards....but he decided to sell some of them to help his puppy Bruce.

Bruce was diagnosed with parvo, a contagious dog virus, and the treatment is almost $700, something his family just isn't able to afford right now.  So Bryson decided to come up with the money.

He made about $65 selling his cards on the street and they have now made a GoFundMe with a goal of $800 for his dogs treatment.
