Little Roomba looked so adorable in her outfit when she went home after surgery. She was the perfect patient!

Sugo thinks he's a lap dog! He doesn't realize he's a Cane Corso and won't be able to be picked up forever. He is super cuddly. #canecorso #kingcityvet #identitycrisis

The many faces of Toby!

Thanks for the laughs Catherine!

Handsome Indy took a shine to Jade, our newest Kingsdale staff member! Usually cats arent as affectionate as dogs in the clinic setting but he proved us wrong. He is a striking Egyptian Mau. #kingcityvet #egyptianmau

Dr. Ashley Boultbee and Lisa Couto, RVT spent a week in the Dominican Republic with Dogs and Cats of the Dominican Republic rescue. They were the surgeons this week (Lisa and Debbie, one of the heads of the organization, did the cat neuters) and completed over 100 surgeries on in four days, included a C-section. We were supported by an army of other volunteers who checked patients in, prepped them, have medications and helped in recovery. What a great group of people! This organization was wonderful. They do adopt out pets regularly to Canada too if there is any interest

Leading up to Remembrance Day, we thought we would share a story sent to us by a member. Thank you Linda. A CANADIAN HERO It is a dark night in early December ...1941. A contingent of soldiers from the 1st. Battalion Royal Rifles of Canada are charged with guarding their base from an attack by Japanese soldiers. The men are a young and inexperienced group fighting bravely against a much more seasoned force. As the Japanese creep closer they are met with terror in the night. Suddenly appearing out of the dark comes a monster. Huge, black and menacing he attacks them, snarling and biting. They retreat in fear. This scenario happens several times throughout the night. Who is this Canadian Monster? For a moment lets return to 1940 when the Hayden family of Gander Newfoundland were forced to make a difficult decision. Their beloved pet, Pal, a 130lb. Newfoundland Dog had accidentally scratched the face of a child who was playing with him. They had no desire to put the dog down but, concerned that such an accident could happen again, they decided to give him to the local RCAF Base in Gander. They were happy to adopt Pal and changed his name to Gander. His primary caregiver was a soldier named Fred Kelly. In 1941 the Regiment was reassigned to Hong Kong to be a part of the ill fated battle of Hong Kong. In order to take Gander with them he was promoted to Sergeant. While in camp the friendly dog was a great asset in keeping up the spirits of the men and they paid him back with plenty of affection, cold showers to relieve him from the heat and an occasional beer with the boys. Then came the night of December 19, 1941, the battle of Lye Mun. The Canadians were outnumbered. Expected equipment and troops had not arrived due to the bombing of Pearl Harbour on Dec. 7th. Still, they fought bravely with Gander always at their side. Yes, this was the monster that bravely attacked the enemy soldiers. At one point in the night Gander was left to guard seven injured soldiers. A Japanese soldier hurled a grenade where the men were lying, incapacitated. Gander sprang to action. He picked up the grenade and ran off into the night with it in his mouth. Tragically, he was never seen again. Later, when the Japanese questioned Canadian soldiers in Prisoner of War camps they often asked about the Kuroi Kaibutsu or Black Monster and wondered if the allies were training a particularly fierce breed of killer animal. For many years Ganders valiant act was remembered only by those who knew and loved him but his story was often told. However, on October 27, 2000, 60 years later, he was postumustly awarded the Dickin Medal for Gallantry, essentially the Victorian Cross for animals, for his selfless act in saving the lives of the injured men. Twenty surviving members of the Regiment attended the ceremony , including Fred Kelly with a Newfoundland Dog by his side. Ganders medal can be viewed at the Canadian War Museum. When the Hong Kong Veterans Memorial Wall was created in Ottawa the names of the 291 Canadian soldiers who died directly in the 17 day Battle of Hong Kong were listed. Sergeant Ganders name stands proudly amongst them. He is a true Canadian Hero. See more
