Abandoned dog hailed a hero for giving blood to anemic pup
An abandoned pup at a shelter in Texas is being hailed a hero after he stepped in as a canine blood donor for a sick pup, who needed help fast.
Bronson, a one-and-a-half-year-old part terrier and part pit bull awaiting adoption at Austin Pets Alive!, a non-profit rescue shelter, saved the day - and a puppy - by becoming a canine blood donor.
Nemo, a tiny month-old puppy, had just arrived at the shelter along with his mother and siblings from the Austin Animal Center. He was suffering from anemia, which meant that there were not enough red blood cells to supply oxygen to his body.
"The smallest of the litter, Nemo, was dangerously anemic and needed help fast," APA said in a news release.
Video footage shared by the shelter shows Bronson patiently cooperating with the shelter staff as they draw blood from him. Later, a tiny Nemo can be seen receiving the life-saving transfusion.
