A working farm dog and family pet named Moose inadvertently ate a dose of medicine meant for a cow. Thanks to the Lucky Fund and the care of the College of Veterinary Medicine’s staff, Moose, a beautiful Bernese Mountain dog, is back working on the farm and brightening the days of his human family.
Another dog, Noah, was brought to the MSU Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) after being attacked by other dogs. Noah underwent a month of surgeries and recovery and, now, thanks to the Lucky Fund, he is back home and thriving.
Tiny, an aptly named Yorkshire Terrier, is so small that a blade of grass completely obstructed her airway. The Internal Medicine service at the VMC came to the rescue after Tiny’s owners tapped the Lucky Fund.
The Lucky Fund provides financial assistance to pet owners whose animals have a good chance of recovery but who cannot afford the costs involved. It is one of many projects donors are supporting this Giving Tuesday—a global day of giving taking place on December 3, 2024.
