Navy veteran tells NBC News that Rep. George Santos prevented him from accessing donations in 2016 that he says would have saved his dog's life.
after the election that cast doubt on Santos’ real estate portfolio and a claim that he had founded an animal rescue charity that saved over 2,500 cats and dogs.
Osthoff said that by 2016, Sapphire was suffering from health problems in her old age and had developed a fatty cyst on her rib cage that over a few months “got to the size of maybe two grapefruits.” When the veterinarian treating Sapphire said she would need a different surgeon, Santos suggested using his vet, instead, Osthoff said.
“I told him, I was like: ‘Look, I know what’s going on here. You’re mining my dog and my friends and my family for funds, and you’re putting them in your own pocket.’”
