On a different topic, there have been countless videos made since October 7th of the Israeli military action in Gaza. On a positive and humorous note is a 4:27 video by the Daily Mail in England that you can view by googling – “Brave IDF war dog Mikey has miracle recovery after being hit by Hamas grenade.”
The Daily Mail interviewed Prof Shai Efrati of the Shamir Medical College located in Be’er Ya’akov near Tel Aviv who was asked to give treatment to an injured dog. At first he told the caller that his unit which doesn’t have a veterinary department was quite busy handling injured IDF soldiers. The caller then explained that the dog – Mikey, a 9-year-old Alsatian is a member of the IDF Orketz dog unit and was a search and rescue dog injured by a Hamas thrown grenade that severely injured the canine’s eyes, legs and brain.

Professor Efrati than quickly reversed his opposition, explaining that “we want to give the best of our treatment to our soldiers and Mikey is one of our soldiers.”
Based on 20 years of treatment to similar injuries to humans, the Shamir Medical College utilized hyperbaric oxygen therapy on Mikey. Originally there was little hope for the dog who was just weeks from being retired from IDF service, but Mikey has made incredible progress and has surprised everyone at the college’s clinic. May the same be true for all of the thousands of soldiers and civilians who have been injured by both Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists.
