Carol was startled by the loud knocking at her door, and when she answered it found a neighbor in distress claiming there had been an emergency at Ken and Zack’s trailer. Not wanting to delay any longer than necessary, she quickly asked if they could wait until after dinner but upon being told no, immediately raced over to Ken and Zack’s place.
Zack was breathing heavily, and it was obvious that he wasn’t feeling well. Carol requested that Ken could take him to the vet, but unfortunately, Ken had no funds available.
Carol eagerly pledged her support however she could, and so shared Ken and Zack’s story on social media in the hopes of raising funds.
