Chocolate goes on a walkabout! March 7, 2008
A
surprise visitor roamed the halls of WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine
this week. Chocolate, an 18-month old Chesapeake Retriever undergoing
rehabilitation here was seen walking around, with plenty of smiles and
friendly faces greeting him along the way.
“We needed to change up his routine,” said Denise Waiting, a veterinary
technician helping Chocolate through his rehabilitation.
Judging from the reception he received, the walk about may be just what the
doctor ordered. “You could tell he really fed off the attention,” said
Waiting, “but he still tires our fairly quickly.
Whenever Chocolate waivered the crew used his yellow ball to get him
going again. Unfortunately, he tires out after just 10 minutes.
Veterinarians here say it may be five to six weeks before he’s able to be
released.
