That looks like stop motion animation (and maybe it actually is).

5k on a dog endoscopy?
I think you could have a trip to Europe to perform that procedure and have a great vacation for that same price.

Is it only me, or does this remind anyone else of the T-1000 terminator?

Put your trust not in this world nor the things in it. It’s not going to last. But Lord Jesus Christ, the risen Savior suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins. He was buried and rose on the 3rd day according to the scriptures! He is the Only Begotten Son of the Living God of the heavens and earth! He is the ONLY way to eternal life. He bore your sins and wants you to come by faith and believe on Him. Repent of your sins and trust in Him. Confess Him as your Lord and Savior. He’s coming back to earth soon to gather those who have put their trust and faith in Him alone. You don’t need to fear the end of this world He’s going to judge evil people and those who refuse to trust in Him. They experience God’s wrath and they will be punished eternally. Those who trust in Jesus Christ are SAFE! HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE.
No good person, good behavior or money can save you!!!
No earthly plan can save you!!!
Only Jesus Christ gives you the chance to be born again through faith in Him and security.
His gift of eternal life is FREE, but it costed Him everything.
Don’t waste your chance to be free from sin and receive eternal life!
