Dog Is Nervous About Getting Surgery, Then This Vet Steps In And Melts Our Hearts

<div><p>Ladies and gentleman, meet the best vet you've ever seen. </p><p>Dr. Ross Henderson, of Fox Hollow Animal Hospital, has caught the attention of people across the country after video of him surfaced serenading a nervous pup headed for surgery. </p><p>"She was running around and jumping up on the kennel, whimpering," Henderson <a href="https://www.thedodo.com/close-to-home/vet-sings-puppy-video">said</a>. "I had my guitar there, so I decided to sing to her. She calmed down and put her head on my lap. It's a good testimony to how effective music can be."</p><div><amp-facebook data-href="https://www.facebook.com/foxhollowvet/videos/1602892713084801" layout="responsive" height="600" width="640"></amp-facebook></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>"My guitar lives here now," said the vet. "A lot of pets have never been to a veterinary hospital before, so anything we can do to love on them is good "” especially considering how much love they give to us."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-3_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-3_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-3_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-3_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>The Dodo</cite></figcaption></figure></div><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/td-2017_04_article_main_desktop-5.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>The Dodo</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>The workers at the animal hospital have been using music to keep them calm for a while, but it's usually just singing.

It's probably because he hears us singing so much. Other animals really respond to it," <a href="https://www.thedodo.com/close-to-home/vet-sings-puppy-video">said </a>Henderson. "If we can inspire people to love on their pets by singing to them, then it's a victory for sure."</p><p></p></div>
