How much would you spend to save a pet?

At a BBQ the other day, my uncle posed a tough question to all the pet owners present:
How much would you spend on surgery or other measures to save your dog?
Uh yikes. As much as we could afford to spend? Or probably beyond what we could afford? I just don't know how to answer that question.
There's no online calculator to figure that out, no two-months' salary estimate. There are certainly a lot of factors to consider, particularly the dog's age and quality of life. But equally important? The impact your pet has on your quality of life.
