Rescued hound gets new chance at life

Gilligan, a rescued hound, is pictured at center with his canine pal, Bonnie, and his new owners, David Cheney and Tana Richardson after being discharged from the UF Small Animal Hospital on Sept. 27. The couple fostered and later adopted Gilligan after Tana found him near death during a bike ride outside of Gainesville. Behind the couple are Michelle Dunlap of Phoenix Animal Rescue, third-year UF CVM student Ben Brunson and Dr. Carrie Santare, a UF veterinary neurology resident. Gilligan had received surgery at UF to stabilize a broken back. (Photo by Sarah Carey)
