Blood Donor Dog

[BG and Gavin]

My friend is a vet tech and heavily involved in pit bull rescue.  One of her dogs is a universal blood donor (meaning that his blood type is a good match for all dogs).  For the second time now, he was called into service when a bull dog was hit by a car this morning and required emergency surgery.  What a giving thing to do.  Has anyone ever considered this?  From what she tells me the blood test to determine blood type is free but you must live close to the vet facility as you are called into action at a moments notice.  Oden is a big calm guy and his "dad" held his paw while the blood flowed with no dramatics.  Oden was given fluids and remained at the vets for two hours to recover.  He is now home and his "sister" Rosie is having a sympathy nap with him.  Oden is the big guy on the right.

P.S. she said the team at the vet clinic treated him like a Celebrity!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting us know. I'll keep the family in my thoughts as they go through this hard time. Very sad.

What a wonderful thing to do. I am sorry about the bulldog!
