About the AMC

Charlie, the Golden Retriever

My wonderful Golden Retriever was only 6 months old when he ate a thermal wrap and developed severe iron poisoning. I rushed him to AMC and was met by kind and carying doctors, nurses and technitians. Charlie was criticaaly ill, at the time the worst iron poisoning AMC had seen. With some quick thinking  the doctor got a hold of a medicine from a neighboring human hospital used for children with the same condition. It was very touch and go for many days. I was so relieved when I went to see charlie and a social worker came in and met with me...I needed the support and AMC was there to help.

Charlie is now 8 and has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I was thinking about our experience with almost losing him as a pup today and wanted to say thank you for saving him...and me...so I could have 7+ glorious years with him.

Thanks,
