Monty is the first dog to be given a pacemaker implantation.
AUSTRALIANS are by and large a nation of animal lovers.
We acknowledge the value pets bring to our community; the joy and companionship they provide to families and individuals.
Many animals also play a vital role in hospitals and convalescent homes across the country, providing comfort to the lonely and infirm.
Then there are the Customs sniffer dogs, police dogs, guide dogs for the blind and rescue dogs in times of natural disasters.
That is why we applaud the love and attention that has been heaped upon Monty, the bichon frise with the dodgy ticker.
Thanks to his landmark pacemaker implantation, Monty has now been given a new lease on life.
Forget the cost, Monty's owners reckon he is worth every cent.
