If mans best friend is a dog, then who is a dogs best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan or Raina. They recently donated (捐贈) blood to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home: they visited an animal bloodmobile.
Like the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvanias traveling vet lab goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. The bloodmobile makes weekly rounds through Philadelphia and New Jersey.
Like humans, not every dog is qualified (合格的) to donate blood. The dogs are examined for health first. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be under 8 years old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints (品脫) a year, which can help animals suffering from illness like cancer or an accident like being hit by a car.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. She said she wouldnt have taken the dog to Penn Vets animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is twice as far from her home. “I was very, very excited that she had the right blood that was needed to help another dog out,” said Lucas. “Well surely do it again.”
Just like people, the donors get a snack and a heart-shaped sticker immediately after giving. Whats more, they receive dog food to take home.
If dogs are doing what they can to save other dogs, why cant we do it to save other people? Next time you hesitate (猶豫) over whether to donate blood or not, think of the dogs.
