Surgeon, Dr. Oliver Morgan, presents a medal to Nemo the Sheltie.

We love all of our patients. But, every once in a while, we meet pets whose courage touches our hearts in a profound way. When those patients beat long odds to overcome a challenging prognosis and a long road to recovery, they inspire us all.

On March 23rd, Cornell University Veterinary Specialists (CUVS) honored the lives of some of our most "courageous companions" and their families. At this very special reunion, our specialists and staff gathered to honor the remarkable bravery these animals showed, and demonstrated our appeciation for the support of their families.

During a very unique ceremony, our specialists presented each of their "courageous companions" with personalized medals, and shared their stories. An incredible photographer was on hand to capture beautiful portraits of each pet, and the afternoon was filled with jokes, smiles and warmth.

We are so pleased that we were able to see these pets again in such good health, and are so privleged to be able to honor them in such a special way. We are so proud of each and every one of them and are grateful to their families for playing such integral roles in their care and recovery.

Check back next week to see the amazing portraits of our "courageous companions" and to hear more "tails" of their incredible recoveries!
