Living Legends Celebration On September 16th, AMC hosted its 2020 Living Legends event virtually to celebrate pets who have survived challenging medical circumstances thanks to the expertise of AMC’s clinicians and the dedication of their owners. Please visit: www.amcny. org/2020-living-legends/ to watch the celebration and hear about the recovery of these legendary animals as told by the AMC specialists who treated them. This year we were proud to honor Lola, an 11-year-old long-haired Pomeranian/Chihuahua who survived an extraordinarily rare brain surgery to remove a tumor, and Olive, a nine-year-old calico cat who survived the removal of a foreign body that had penetrated her heart sac causing a bacterial infection-a condition never seen before in felines. Additionally, AMC honored Dudley, the winner of this year’s Jackie Santi Flaherty Award for Courage. Dudley is a miniature grey Poodle who was hit by a truck in Central Park and was never expected to walk again; after a year of intense rehabilitation, Dudley is now fully mobile.

Although we were not able to gather in person this year, we are grateful for the technology that allowed us to come together virtually. Most importantly, we are grateful for our donors’ ongoing, generous support, which enables AMC to continue the work that makes these very stories possible. Dudley
