When 11 week old pup Xena fell and broke her leg, her owners rushed her immediately to the small animal clinic at Texas A&M.
Doctors repaired her left back leg, replacing tendons and bone with tension bands and steel pins.
It's a fairly simple procedure, but one that requires a good amount of rehabilitation.
Xena, a border collie, needed the surgery right away because she's a candidate for a search and rescue program.
Xena's father Pete is a border collie as well and has worked all over the county from disaster searched to crime scenes.
She'll be following in his footsteps as a search and rescue dog.
If you want to help Xena out, there is link below this story for more information.

We live in a wonderful community and part of what makes it wonderful is groups and people like these. It is nice to hear about caring people and stories of hope like this one. Good luck to the pup and the people she will help in the future. :)
