Military Working Dog
Portsmouth, Va. Army Capt. Sally Plichta, a veterinarian and the officer in charge of the Norfolk Naval Station Veterinary Activity, listens to the heartbeat of Military Working Dog Anoeska after she was sedated and placed on the V-shaped sponge in Naval Medical Center Portsmouth’s Radiology Department. Because Military Working Dogs are considered service members, the veterinarians have access to CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment at NMCP when standard veterinarian X-rays are insufficient for diagnosis.
