“ Stormie, a 4-year-old female Siamese with a history of heartworm disease since she was 1 year old, was with her owner while she visited family in the Bay Area when one of her rear legs became lame. Stormie's owner brought her to a local veterinary emergency room in Berkeley, where she shared the cat's history. After an ultrasound showed a suspected heartworm in the arterial system, and a heartworm antigen test resulted in a strong positive, Stormie's owner was advised to bring her to specialists at the UC Davis veterinary hospital. “

Hurt While Saving Owner, Dog Wins Hambone Award

By Veterinary Practice News Editors

VeterinaryPracticeNews.com

"Kismet, a 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier in Salt Lake City, saved his owner during a home-invasion robbery.

Kismet, a spry, 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier from Salt Lake City, was named Nationwide pet insurance company's 2016 Hambone Award winner for his most unusual pet insurance claim - and his heroic actions.

The dog's road to the Hambone - a road no one would want to take - began with a violent home-invasion robbery in which Kismet and his owner, Shu Li, were nearly killed.

Li arrived home early from work and was resting in an upstairs bedroom with Kismet at her side. Her husband was at work.

A burglar entered the home and was immediately alerted to Kismet's growling. The man went upstairs and began to bludgeon Li with a club as Kismet barked and bit at his ankles and lower legs.

"At first I thought someone was playing a joke on me, but then he started hitting me and I was fighting for my life," Li said.

She feigned passing out, and the perpetrator turned his attention to Kismet, still in attack mode, and stabbed the dog with a knife.

The man then chased Li as she escaped outside. Li found help, and the burglar was apprehended.

"All I could think about in the ambulance was Kismet," Li said. "I just wanted to know if he was going to be OK."

Both underwent emergency surgery and recovered.

Kismet was treated at Advanced Veterinary Care of Salt Lake City, which was awarded $10,000 for its work in saving Kismet's life.

One thing is near certain, the Brea, Calif., insurer reported: Li could have died had her Jack Russell terrier not intervened.

"The Hambone Award serves as an annual reminder of the unforeseeable dangers that can affect our pets at any time," said Carol McConnell, DVM, chief veterinary officer for Nationwide.

Kismet received a bronze trophy and a bag filled with toys, treats and other supplies.

The second- and third-place winners were:

Ludmila, a Tibetan terrier from Pittsburgh whose head became stuck in a wooden coffee table. She was taken to Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Clinic.

Oso, a mixed-breed dog from La Mesa, Calif., who misjudged a leap and crashed head first into a cement barrier, shattering his snout. He was treated at Pet Emergency and Specialty Center of East County."

“The Mall of America is more than just the Taj Mahal Mall, known for its vastness, it is also home to public aquarium called Sea Life that houses Seemore the sea turtle, who was unfortunately injured when struck by a boat. In the wild, her chances of survival were slim; her cracked shell left her prone to accumulation of gases under her skin, specifically on her hindquarters, that hindered her ability to dive underwater, something essential for a sea turtle “

Designed to work with or without a touchscreen monitor, the iCap system can be used across a variety of settings. It utilizes an icon, push-button style interface, making the system as easy to use as an ATM, with most actions being completed with just one or two clicks!
