Doug the Pug is a famous and adorable influencer. He has gathered a whopping 18 million followers across social media platforms. Despite his fame, Doug the Pug and his human/social media manager, Leslie Mosier, have found their passion in helping children battling cancer.
Cancer can be devastating not only to their young victims but also to the rest of their families. It is emotionally, physically, and financially draining. But with the help of Doug the Pug Foundation, funds are being gathered to help every family in this difficult situation where they need help the most. The Doug the Pug Foundation partnered with St. Jude and is continuously receiving kind and generous donations from many to help others cope with the impact of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in their families.
Doug the Pug and Leslie also visit the children and their families in the hospital. They help bring joy and support to each family. For a moment, the illness’s stress and strain are forgotten, and they can laugh and play freely with the adorable pup. Doug makes sure there’s plenty of snuggle and kisses to go around.
Leslie and Doug have found happiness in each visit and the comfort they give. Each time a new bond is formed between them and the children, their families, and even the hospital staff, they feel like they have accomplished something amazing and life-changing for everyone. In one of his last visits to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Doug wore a Santa outfit for Christmas to surprise the children. Leslie and Doug do not consider all their work as a task but as their calling.
With Doug the Pug’s influence online and the Foundation, many children’s lives are brightened with the support they offer emotionally and financially. Make sure to watch the journey of Doug and the children through @dougthepugfoundation on Instagram. We hope they could inspire many to bring joy to others just as they do.
