Riley’s Candles is on a mission to save the lives of dogs who need emergency surgeries. Riley the hero of this story is the founder, Chief Beagle Officer, best friend and currently a 13-year-old rescue beagle, with great luck.  He is the “pet” of Josh Hart, the man behind the beagle!  When Riley was 3, he was paralyzed for the first time, his “parents” were newly married and could not afford the roughly $10,000 in surgery and recovery it was going to take to save his life. However, the only other option was to put him down. In desperation, the charges were spread over every credit card and his life was spared, Riley Survived!
