Akela

February 1998

This is a card I made for the veterinarian I "shadowed" during January. One of her patients was an older German Shepherd named Akela who presented with mysterious bleeding. Akela underwent numerous tests and stayed at the hospital for quite a while as the veterinarians tried to figure out what was wrong with her. Through it all, Akela remained patient and friendly with everyone despite the discomfort of various procedures. Luckily all ended well for Akela, and she finally returned home to her anxious family.
