Miracle collie

Jan 11 2008

Vets Now, the Dunfermline-based out-of-hours veterinary service, proved the value of its business model with the rescue of a beloved pet that was nigh on a Christmas miracle.

Casca, a four-year-old bearded collie, suffered horrific injuries when a freak accident caused him to be impaled through the chest on a fallen tree branch. The resulting pictures sent by Vets Now are too gruesome to reprint in a family paper.

The dog's quick thinking owners rushed him to Vets Now in Farnham. The amazing mutt was up and walking only two days later.
