A veterinary nurse’s life has been saved by a pet dog.
Angie Shaw was working at Beechwood Veterinary Group’s Garforth Surgery when she was headbutted in the chest by a pet Labrador when she tried to turn him over on the consult table, where, unbeknown to her at the time an aggressive tumour was lurking.
When the lump caused by the accidental bump was still sore a week later Angie booked a GP appointment. She was referred for scans and biopsies which revealed she had a fast-growing form of breast cancer.
