My French Bulldog Pierre is a 2014 VPI Hambone Award nominee. The Hambone Award is a fun contest held by VPI Pet Insurance for the strangest medical claim of the year.
Pierre got VPI's attention after we submitted an emergency room claim for near drowning and chocolate chip cookie consumption. We took Pierre with us to my MIL's annual 4th of July party, and Pierre kept looking for t-r-o-u-b-l-e. I'm honestly surprised that this is the visit that scored him the nomination. He ate a glow stick the morning after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, or there was the time he was diagnosed with "roid rage."
If Pierre wins, VPI will be donating $10,000 to the E.R. that helped him, Furnetic at University of Illinois-Chicago, so they can provide services for other animals whose owners have difficulties paying for life-saving treatment. We've, ahem, been there a few times and the staff is truly excellent and can do a lot of good.
