A friend sent this to me and I have to admit that I think this is very cool. As long as I've been a pet owner and even having had animals who've gone through surgery, I never thought about where replacement blood would come from. Now I know, I guess. I've never seen a sign or a blood drive for animals. :think:

QuoteCarly, a security forces K-9 is sedated to have blood drawn on July 3, during a canine blood drive at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Just like humans, this lifesaving contribution can be used for another K-9 of the same blood type when needed. Military working dogs have their blood tested prior to being used as a donor for blood typing and to ensure they are ideal donors.
Can Dick Chainey use this blood in his :confused: :smile:many operations. :confused:
