Dog trainer Sam Kabbel donates kidney to customer David Keiser

August 28th, 2010 Comments Off

David Keiser became ill 12 years ago and thought he might just have a bug.

“My body was out of whack, I thought I had the flu,” said Keiser.

It wasn’t the flu; David’s kidneys were failing and he needed a kidney transplant. He and his wife, Diane, had taken their chew-happy pup Bo to a trainer named Sam Kabbel. When Sam heard that Bo’s daddy needed a kidney transplant, she wanted to help.

“I’ve called her a saint, I’ve called her our savior, I’ve called her superwoman. Words can’t describe what you feel like when someone offers to save your husband’s life,” said Diane.

“How do you thank someone like that other than just taking care of the kidney, living a long happy life,” said Keiser.

Twelve years later, both of Sam’s kidneys are going strong, in two locations, and Bo has resolved his chewing issues, too. Congrats to all.
