Rep. George Santos (R-NY) allegedly took $3,000 from an online fundraiser created to raise money for a disabled veteran’s dying service dog, according to reports.
Navy veteran Richard Osthoff was living inside an abandoned chicken coop alongside Route 9 in Howell, New Jersey, in May 2016 when he discovered that his service dog Sapphire had developed a tumor in her stomach, according to Patch. After taking Sapphire to the vet, Osthoff learned the surgery to remove the tumor would cost $3,000.
That’s when a veterinary technician told Osthoff there was someone who could help him get the treatment.
"'I know a guy who runs a pet charity who can help you,'" the technician said, Osthoff recounted to Patch.
