We’ve heard so many stories of goodwill and heroic deeds from dogs and other pets. And that’s why we all can’t help but melt when we watch viral videos or read endearing stories about the brave dog. The story of Jax and his act of bravery and heroism is no exception. It’s a fantastic story of how dogs are willing to share their lives with their humans and other animals.
Meet Jax, an adorable dog who recently went viral for donating his blood to save another puppy’s life. According to Jennifer Fowler, Jax’s Owner, an anemic puppy, was brought to their clinic. The poor puppy needed a blood transfusion as soon as possible. At the time, the red blood cell count of the puppy was rapidly dropping.
Fowler said they tried to get in touch with the sick puppy’s owner but were not able to. They had to be ready, so they can proceed as soon as the owner gives the okay. Meanwhile, they needed to look for blood as the clinic doesn’t usually have blood at hand. She said that the staffs volunteer their pets for donation as long as it’s safe for them.
Jennifer asked her husband to bring Jax over since their house is just 10 minutes away from the clinic. She said Jax thrilled and excited to see everyone. She said that the dog loves attention and went through the procedure without any hitch. He just sat still while the blood is being drawn.
They got one transfusion bag from Jax, which was enough for the small puppy. The blood drawing took only 30 seconds, and Jax got so many treats after. High-calorie snacks and some water gave him. He visibly pleased with himself – wagging his tail at the staff. Then a super comfortable bed had given to Jax for the rest of the day.
