VMCVM Staff Spotlight: Drew Dunn , articleMeet Drew Dunn, a veterinary assistant in neurology who joined the veterinary college in November 2020.

He was particularly moved by one case of a dog who could no longer walk and was aggressive, seeing him not only walk on his own again but crawl into Drew's lap. A fitting motto for Drew's work, he said, is "Helping Animals Walk Again ... One Step at a Time."

VMCVM Pet Spotlight: Velcro , articleMeet Velcro, the 14-year-old, 12-pound (i.e. "big-boned") black cat whose mom is Katherine Harshman, LVT and development associate / "office extrovert" in Advancement. Velcro thinks his name is cool but will more readily answer to "CAT!" and considers a dog in the home his sister and best friend. Velcro once hid from everyone in a closet for a day and a half at his grandparents' house and once survived a ride in a dryer. You might not want to leave any paper or cardboard items you value near him, or they will end up as confetti. That may have something to do with how unhappy Velcro is at some of the food portions he gets from his mom. That said, Velcro loves to snuggle with her, and an occasional hit of catnip.
