Get ready for a tale of canine courage that’ll make you reach for both tissues and your wallet. Brixton, the beloved golden retriever who’s basically San Francisco’s furry social media influencer, is facing the fight of his life against lymphoma - and he’s doing it with more style and sass than most humans.

A Dog’s Life in the City

At 11 years old, Brixton isn’t just any ordinary pup. Known as the “Doggi Lama” and boasting 5,000 Instagram followers, he’s been a fixture at street fairs, festivals, and even Giants Opening Day. But now, this therapy dog is battling a serious health challenge that’s turning his world upside down.

The Medical Marathon

Diagnosed with early-stage lymphoma after years of misdiagnosis, Brixton’s medical bills are skyrocketing faster than tech startup valuations. His human companion, Linda Gordon, has launched a GoFundMe that’s become a testament to San Francisco’s legendary community support. We’re talking tens of thousands of dollars in veterinary expenses that would make even the most financially stable tech bro wince.

More Than Just a Hashtag

But Brixton isn’t just sitting around feeling sorry for himself. With chemo underway and his spirits high, he’s determined to “nip this in the bud”. As if battling cancer wasn’t enough, he’s also facing potential housing challenges, proving that even our four-legged friends aren’t immune to the Bay Area’s housing crisis.

So Bay Area, let’s rally around this adorable, courageous pup who’s stolen our hearts and now needs our help. Because in San Francisco, we take care of our own - fur, scales, or otherwise.
