Dogs Give Blood

http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/health/2010/02/13/hm.doggie.blood.bank.cnn

I found this video very interesting, since this is the first time I'd ever heard of a dog giving blood. The thought never occured to me that vet's and animal hospitals need blood for the sick pets. This video shows that all of the dogs are screened and tested and they are able to give blood that supplies the animal hospital with blood to use on animals that are sick.

After reading the entire blog however, i was releived because after reading just the title i thought dogs were giving humans blood for a minute but i knew that couldn't have been right. lol

  2. This is interesting. Like you said, I never thought of animals needing blood as well. I always just thought that humans were the only ones that need to donate blood.

  3. This video is adorable. I think it's great that some one is considering that animals need blood as well as humans. The program in this video is interesting. It seems like it will greatly help the health of dogs
