Buster

Breed: British Bulldog

Barking from: Glenglogan, QLD

What's up dog?

Meet Buster, our brave little British Bulldog puppy with a heart full of love and a heart condition to match. At just 8 weeks old, Buster was surrendered by a breeder who believed his life wasnt worth saving. But from the moment we met him, we knew he deserved a chance. Diagnosed with a severe heart murmur caused by two faulty valves, Buster now needs life-saving heart surgery, but despite his diagnosis, he is already changing lives.
Buster isnt just a puppy. He is a symbol of resilience, kindness, and community spirit. Since his rescue, he has inspired an outpouring of love from friends, family, and total strangers. From GoFundMe donations to social media shares, Busters story is bringing out the best in people. Our teenage son has offered to do odd jobs in exchange for donations, while his school community is rallying to help spread the word. Each day, Busters joyful personality shines through in his Instagram posts, capturing hearts with his antics, cheeky grins, and heart-melting cuddles. His growing number of followers say his updates are the highlight of their day, bringing smiles, laughter, and hope to people who have never even met him.
Despite his condition, Buster greets every person and every day with a wiggly bum and a slobbery smile. He loves soaking up the sunshine, chewing outdoor chairs (oops!), and cuddling up to our older bulldogs, Winston and Pandy, who have adopted him as their own.
Buster reminds us all that, even in tough times, compassion can shine brightest. He has already won our hearts and the hearts of everyone he meets, now we hope he can win yours too.
