It was the summer of 2007 when I was walking my own dog named Timba down by the St Laurent River where I played fetch with him. He was a Lab-Golden retriever mix, 7 yrs old and he was a great family dog. This one time while paying fetch, Timba came out of the water holding his paw up in the air and still holding on to his toy...
I then noticed his paw and leg were bleeding and saw the cut from his leg to his paw. I immediately took off my t-shirt and wrapped it around his leg and paw to try and stop the bleeding. I was concerned seeing that I was about a kilometer from my home, and I remembered I had my cell on me so I called a taxi immediately and then I carried Timba in my arms to Boul. LaSalle..
When the taxi driver saw the blood though the t-shirt on Timba's leg, he refused to help us and drove off. I called a family member who came and we took him to the emergency veterinary facility where they treated him. He ended up having 8 stitches.

Update on Timba |
We are very sad to say that Timba passed away on April 1st 2009. I strongly believe Timba came into my life for a reason and that was to create K911's Pet Ambulance. We miss him so much and not a day goes by where I don't see another lab and it makes me think of Timba. I am saddened by his loss and miss him so much, but he will always remain in my heart and his spirit lives on through K911. |
