How far would you go to extend your dog's life? NY Brando, a beloved labrador retriever, received an expensive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test as part of the diagnosis treatment of his inoperable brain tumor. His family estimates they will spend up to $10,000 on his continued treatment, because "he's worth it... he's a miracle dog." [The Citizen]

Indeed, such stories have become more commonplace than extraordinary.  We just spent hundreds of dollars on an ultrasound for one of our dogs, who recently had a bad reaction to an arthritis drug. She's fine, but creaky, and spends her nap time flopped on her very own electro-kennel thermastat controlled heating pad. (a must-have, if you have an arthritic dog).
