According to WSAV, Carlton, a 1-year-old hound helped save another dog who was in desperate need of an emergency blood transfusion.
A man identified as Butch Krishnamurti wrote in a Facebook post that his dog Breeze needed a blood transfusion to have a high enough red blood cell count to sustain intensive exploratory surgery on Saturday.
After Renegade Paws Rescue, the organization that fosters Carlton, learned about Breeze’s situation, they offered Carlton as a potential donor, WSAV reported.

Krishnamurti said Carlton was a trooper during the blood draw.
“The transfusion worked beautifully and Breeze’s surgery was successful,” Krishnamurti wrote.
Krishnamurti said they were able to identify the location of Breeze’s internal bleeding. Breeze has since gone home and is reportedly eating well and slowly increasing his activity.
