The group that saved Scout’s life, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the School of Veterinary Medicine will have a massive spotlight shone on the great work they have accomplished in front of a massive audience thanks to the TV spot.
When the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s veterinary school saved Scout’s life, owner David MacNeil thanked it in a major way: He landed them a spot in the big game.
You may have seen the ad already. Or heard about it. It features a 7-year old golden retriever named Scout who was treated for a tumor on his heart at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine.
The university considers itself pretty lucky, too. “This is an amazing opportunity not only for the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the School of Veterinary Medicine, but for veterinary medicine worldwide,” said UW veterinary school Dean Mark Markel, DVM, PhD, DACVS. “So much of what’s known globally today about how best to diagnose and treat devastating diseases such as cancer originated in veterinary medicine.”
School of Veterinary Medicine dean Mark Markel reckons the advert will go a long way in promoting everything they do.”This is an amazing opportunity not only for the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the School of Veterinary Medicine, but for veterinary medicine worldwide,” he said.
“Much of Madison’s transportation planning discussion centers on highway improvements, but alternative transportation is making inroads. The Metro system is the 16th most-used transit network in the country, and students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison contribute high bike and pedestrian commuting scores,” according to the report. “Madison may not be the best in any single category, but its classic Midwesterner ’pretty darned good’ scores across the board earned it a top spot on our list.”
Scout is a very lucky 7-year-old golden retriever. Like all to many dogs of the breed, he suffered from cancer as he approached canine middle age, and veterinarians initially estimated he had only about a 1 percent chance for survival. He’s still around and kicking thanks to the efforts of professionals at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Veterinary Medicine.
