Local vet, hospital ER win praise from citizen

To the editor:

The later part of May, I was walking my poodle and stopped by my friends' house, knocked on her kitchen door. She has two dogs, a Jack Russell and another one about the same size. As she was coming out, they bolted, ran to us, and attacked us, and they bit and really chewed his hip, very deep -- by the left side was just terrible. He was dismissed the later part of August.

Doctor B.R. Cato is the very best veterinarian. He saved my baby's life. He is so caring and very good. My dog's hair came back; there are scars, but it came back reddish brown, coarse and straight. He is truly unique. We are truly blessed to have Dr. Cato in Blytheville. His staff is special also.

I hope you voted for our hospital, we truly need it. I had stitches on both hands. I went to the ER and they were professional and caring. I have been to the ER numerous times since and have been treated just the same by the doctors, nurses, EMTs and paramedics, everyone. My friend and I are still friends.
