EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph taken at a veterinary hospital in Surrey during the 1930s, two beloved family pets receive much-needed care and attention. The smooth fox terrier at the top of the image lies partially paralysed on a hospital bed, its once lively and agile form now stilled by an unspecified condition. The terrier's sad eyes gaze up at the camera with a mixture of hope and resignation, as if seeking understanding and comfort from the world around it. Beside the terrier, a boarhound with a broken tail rests on a nearby bed. The boarhound's once powerful and expressive tail, a symbol of its energy and enthusiasm, is now swathed in a series of surgical bandages, designed to keep it still and prevent any further damage. The hound's face shows signs of pain and discomfort, but its eyes remain bright and alert, reflecting a determination to recover. The veterinary hospital in Surrey was a vital resource for pet owners during this era, providing essential medical care and attention for animals in need. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the important role that veterinary care plays in the lives of our pets and the deep bond that exists between humans and their animals. The smooth fox terrier and the boarhound, despite their physical challenges, remain surrounded by love and care, a testament to the enduring connection between pets and their owners. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history of veterinary medicine and the importance of animal health and welfare. It also highlights the emotional connection between humans and their pets, a bond that transcends time and continues to thrive today. The smooth fox terrier and the boarhound, despite their physical challenges, remain symbols of the love, care, and compassion that have long been a part of the human-animal relationship.
