FARMINGTON, N.M. - The patient was only slightly injured when he limped into a hospital in the northwest New Mexico city of Farmington.
The only problem was, he was a dog.
When the automatic doors at San Juan Regional Medical Center's emergency room slid open Saturday night, the pooch walked in, blood on his nose and paw, and a puncture hole in one leg.
Animal control officer Robin Loev (LOHV) responded to a call from the hospital and suspects the puncture wound was from the bite of another dog.
Loev says the German shepherd mix appeared to be intelligent and calm — and knew enough to go to the right place.
The animal was taken to the Farmington Animal Shelter and claimed by its owner.
Props to this German shepherd for proving once again why dogs are way better than cats. You think a cat could ever find its way to the emergency room? Hell no. There’s a better chance of a white kid from Boston topping the hip-hop charts. (Wait, that happened? Maybe there is a chance for cats).
This story is also a message to my girlfriend’s dog, who has bitten me twice and shits all over the living room. (Too bad dogs can’t read, although I wouldn’t put it past the German shepherd from Farmington, NM). Here’s what I would like to get across to my girl’s idiot dog: “Look at what other dogs can do. This German shepherd got attacked by another dog, and managed to find its own way to the emergency room! You, on the other hand, bite people you’ve known for over a year, and use the living room as a personal toilet. You should be ashamed of yourself.” Something along those lines.
