Vets install pacemaker in search-and-rescue dog

Vets install pacemaker in search-and-rescue dog

COLUMBIA, Mo. - After years of helping authorities look for murder victims and survivors of natural disasters, a search-and-rescue dog named Molly has been rescued herself.

Surgeons at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine on Thursday installed a pacemaker in the 5-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever's heart. She needed the surgery after being diagnosed with a complete electrical heart blockage.

Owners Allen and Alicia Brown of Saginaw were overwhelmed with offers to help pay the more than $2,500 in surgery, vet and travel costs after The Joplin Globe reported on Molly's need for the pacemaker.
Medical technology company Medtronic Inc. donated the device, and a Kansas businessman offered to anonymously pay up to $2,000 of the cost.
"It surprises me greatly," Allen Brown said. "There's just been such an outpouring of public support for her."

This is amazing. I never thought about a dog having the same blockage as a human. A pacemaker no less.

Worthwhile though considering the training that is done with the dogs. I know someone involved with such dogs and have witnessed their training and actual searching. It is amazing what they can do.
