Man Leaves Bartender a $1,000 Tip to Pay for Her Dog's Surgery

Your faith in humanity is about to be restored yet again. You’ve read before about amazingly large tips left by generous patrons of restaurants and bars.
In this case, a couple was sitting at a bar in a New Jersey hotel when they noticed that their bartender had a tattoo of a paw print on her wrist.

The couple also loved dogs so they started to talk with the bartender, Christina Summitt, about her pet, a Great Dane-black Labrador mix named Tucker. The 37-year-old Summitt told them that Tucker was in the veterinary hospital. He had just undergone very expensive emergency surgery after swallowing a hard plastic ball.

 
Summitt said she didn’t know how she’d pay for it. She was juggling three jobs and her husband’s full-time job is barely enough to support her three stepchildren.

The unidentified couple had dinner at the bar and ordered a few drinks. When they closed out their $80 tab with Summitt, the man left her a tip of $1,000.

 
Summitt immediately told them she couldn’t accept such a large tip, but the man said he was honored to help pay for the dog’s surgery.

“I just stood there in shock. I walked around and hugged this couple. They said, ‘We’ll be praying for Tucker,’” Summitt, pictured here, told CNN.

 
The manager of the Clinton hotel said this isn’t the first time this man has left such huge tips. “Apparently this man does this quite frequently. Just a really nice guy and humanitarian,” she said.
Tucker’s surgery was a success, and he is recovering at home.
