    Yay for Blake the Donor Dog! My rescue clinic also has a doggy blood donor that helps make blood products for all kinds of animals.

    Here is some random doggy blood trivia:

    Doggos have over 12 blood types.

    The first ever blood transfusion was done in England in 1665 between 2 living dogs. The first human blood transfusion was 2 years later. They gave him sheep’s blood! 🐑
