Veterinarian, Hank and others in “Care of the Dog”

Looks like this dog will only be eating smoothies from now on.

Hank

He's hurt that bad? But how will he get his nutrients? A growing dog needs all his protein.

This dog's done growing. Based on his cloudy eyes, loose skin and general odor, I'd say he is about ten years old.

Hank

What?

That's impossible! The rescue shelter told us he was two.

Those rescue places always tell you their dogs are two. That way, they don't scare you off. It's like how I tell people I chose to be a vet instead of "I flunked out of med school."
