Please help us welcome the newest (and furriest) member of our hospital family—Gunnar! This gentle Great Dane pup faced a tough start with a fractured femur, but after a successful surgery and lots of TLC, he's now on the road to recovery. 🐾💙

Even better? Gunnar has found his forever home with our very own Dr. Yick! 🏡✨ We think it’s safe to say this dynamic duo is paws-itively precious. A talented healer and her giant-hearted pup? That's a tail-wagging happy ending if we've ever heard one!

Join us in celebrating this beautiful bond—because every doctor needs a Dane. 💕🐶
