Blitz was no less than 13 years old and had been a donor for the previous 12 years after being surrendered by a consumer, a spokesperson stated. He lived on the clinic so he can be available for emergencies however was relieved of his medical duties earlier this yr and was being cared for by a foster proprietor. Blitz died of kidney illness on Nov. 14.
The clinic’s social media put up drew in practically 600 reactions and 100 feedback, largely to supply condolences and thank Blitz for his service to his four-legged counterparts.
“Blitzy was an awesome dog,” one person wrote. “He didn’t just save patients’ lives. He saved some of the employees too.”
Blitz’ impression was clear within the remark part. “He saved my girl’s life.” “He saved one of my dogs!” “He helped many people to be able to keep their fur babies a little longer.”
“He saved my dog Dash’s life a few years ago,” one consumer wrote. “We were so thankful for him and brought him toys and treats.”
