Court bites back, exonerates Michigan TV vet who saved dog

DETROIT (AP) — A Boston terrier named Mr. Pigglesworth is as frisky as ever — and the Michigan veterinarian who saved the dog’s life on a reality TV show has been cleared of misconduct.

The Michigan appeals court on Friday overturned a $500 fine and probation for Jan Pol, who has a popular show on Nat Geo Wild called “The Incredible Dr. Pol.”

In a 3-0 decision, the court seemed incredulous that Pol was in hot water for saving a dog that was struck by a car. The Mount Pleasant-area vet in 2011 removed Mr. Pigglesworth’s badly damaged eye, stitched lacerations in his mouth and determined that the pelvis would heal without much treatment.

“The dog lived. What did I do wrong?” Pol, 73, told The Associated Press.  MORE HERE

  1. So who is this K-Y (see what I did there?) vet? And the members of the Michigan Vet Board? Publish names and addresses. Let there be rocks thrown through windows.

  2. Just another reason I like dogs better than most people.
    Damn, just $250 vet bill, as somebody who has spent a lot of money on vets, he is damn cheap.
    Liked every vet I ever met, cannot say the same for MDs.

  3. What kind of a brainless, arrogant, inbred, jealous, blood-sucking, snake-licking, ankle-grabbing, overstuffed, dickless, rotten, jackwad-douchenozzle do you have to be to sue somebody like Dr Pol for doing a good job?

  4. So he didn’t wear a mask.

    Does that vet in Kentucky moonlight for the Beverly Hills police department? Because Dr. Pol is obviously the veterinary world’s equivalent of Axel Foley.
