On this Veterans' Day we want to take a moment to thank all the brave men and women who served our country and who continue to serve.

In honor of the animals who assist their human partners in the armed forces, we hope you'll enjoy reading the story of Staff Sergeant Reckless—small in size, but huge in heart and spirit, Reckless was a “Jeju” pony who became the real-life warhorse of the U.S. Marine Fifth Regiment during the Korean War; she is pictured below with Lieutenant Eric Pedersen, who bought her at a racetrack in Seoul for $250 and trained her to haul ammunition through the caos of war.

In particular, it was the savage Battle for Outpost Vegas in April 1953 that revealed the true extent of this mare’s courage and resilience. For the better parts of three days and nights, Reckless hauled ammunition—to the recoilless rifles by day and the mortar crews by night—with periodic breaks for water and feed, and short periods of sleep. Trained to travel by herself, she prompted one Marine to observe that she was so fast, no handler could keep up with her, anyway. She was wounded twice, patched up and resumed her work without hesitation. Time and again, her fellow Marines marveled at her resoluteness, as she maneuvered across areas where shrapnel was falling, and ran along the narrow berms beside the rice paddies, never stepping off into the mine-laden bogs.

In one day alone, during that terrible April siege, she made 51 trips to the recoilless rifles sites, in all traveling more than 35 miles. She carried 386 of the heavy shells, each weighing 20 to 23 pounds, depending on their content—a total of over 9,000 pounds of explosives. Then, descending the ridge to reload, she carried the wounded or dead on her back. It is acknowledged that because of what Reckless accomplished in battle, many Marines came home who might not have otherwise.

This could turn into a great way to predict one of the more common orthopedic injuries we see in many breeds of dogs.

WE DID IT!! Genetic testing for risk of cruciate ligament rupture in the Labrador Retriever is here.

Cruciate ligament rupture is a common problem in several popular breeds including the Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, and Newfoundland, equivalent to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in human beings. We have been working on this study for many years and are now exceptionally pleased to announce the availability of a genetic screening test for risk of cruciate ligament rupture in Labradors. This is a marker-based risk test because cruciate ligament rupture is influenced by changes in many different genes and is different from most genetic testing in dogs. For more information about this test, it’s value and information about this disease, please visit:

https://www.vetmed.wisc.edu/lab/corl/canine-genetic-testing/

We are extremely grateful to the community that we work with for supporting this endeavor. Please look out for future updates on progress with this program, as we are now focusing effort on extending this cruciate ligament rupture genetic testing to other high-risk breeds including the Rottweiler and the Newfoundland.

Availability of genetic testing.
We are currently setting up this genetic testing service at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison. We anticipate the cost of the marker-based risk test will be ~$250. We welcome expressions of interest or questions about this important development in the Comparative Genetics and Orthopaedic Research Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Please email us if you are interested in getting your Labrador Retriever tested.

Our community has been fortunate that we have had "Cat Crisis" funds for this past year and has been able to get many of our feline friends spayed and neutered.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas, and here's to a joyous and successful 2022!
