Animal Hospital has an ongoing series on our website about some
of our patients who are also working animals. The series, called
“More than man's best friend,” is intended to shed light on the
important jobs that animals do, as well as how they got their
job.  In mid-April we shared the story of Alpine, a therapy dog
for a local hospice, and last year we wrote about the K9 unit at
Detroit Metro Airport.  The Ann Arbor Animal Hospital does
annual preventative health, emergency care, and other general
health concerns for police dogs at the Ann Arbor Police
Department. We recently reached out to Officer Patrick Maguire
of the AAPD with our list of questions on working animals, and
he gave us a lot of information in his answers.  It was too much
for a single post
