Dog Drop 101

Once examinations are complete, most of the dogs will be transported to “prison” where prisoners who’ve been specially trained will care for them until they can be picked up by their owner or a handler. A veterinarian is on call at all times, by the way. Dogs requiring further attention are transported to either a private veterinarian or one on call as needed. Martin Buser’s Freedom, who flew home on the lap of Sonny Lindner, who’d just scratched, went straight to Buser’s private veterinarian, for instance.
