A top gun dog looked cool as Iceman following an emergency mission to save her eye. Kona needed to wear the Maverick-style protective eyewear following surgery to remove a thorn.
Her owner Andrea Bishop noticed Kona became withdrawn and appeared in pain after her morning walk. She took the four-year-old pointer to a vet who carried out an ultrasound scan on her right eye which revealed the thorn embedded in her cornea.
Kona was then driven 80 miles to Veterinary Vision in Penrith, Cumbria, where veterinary surgeons carried out a risky procedure to remove the thorn and save her sight. Kona’s damaged eye was also grafted.
