Mark Prince who had been involved in a road accident had been rushed to the Mount Sinai hoS- pital in Miami and rushed into surgery. Doctors there thought had run out of blood supplies and were desperately seeking a solution when a surgeon came up with the idea. "We were desperate," said Doctor Brian Jack- son "Seeing as though his name was Mr. Prince and I have a dog, which is also called Prince, who was actually sleeping in my car, I thought what the heck! Let's try this. Unbelievably it worked!" Andrew Masterson, an associate professor and service chief of Small Animal Internal Medicine at Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, said it is possible for dogs to act as blood donors for illnesses such as chronic anemia, clotting disorders, and bone marrow. "We have been working on this for a while - it looks like the Florida Surgeons beat us to it." He said, finally his work vindicated. "The ideal dog blood donor is healthy and under 8 years old, weighs more than 50 pounds, and has a friendly disposition. It must also be up to date on all its vaccinations and be free of fleas and ticks" said the Professor. Various blood banks across the country are now asking for dog owners to donate blood for it to be stored and some clinics are even hosting blood drives for canines. As for Mr. Prince? "He is doing fine," said Doctor Jackson "He went for a walk earlier and chased some birds. Hopefully, he will stop digging soon, and well, then maybe we can release him."
