I saw this in the news last night and thought finally a good story on Laser.
Thought the Group would enjoy hearing good PR on Lasers.

Shingle Springs Dog Beamed Back To Life With Lasers « CBS Sacramento
SHINGLE SPRINGS, Calif. (CBS13) – It sounds like a science fiction story, but a Shingle Springs family says their dog Barley was beamed back to life by a laser.
The Shipman’s say when their Golden Retriever Barley collapsed in the backyard last fall, they thought they would lose him.
“He was obviously in a lot of pain and we thought it was the end,” said Evan Shipman. “And so we spent the morning saying our goodbyes.”
After two days of not eating or moving, they called the vet to put him down.
That’s when the doctor suggested laser therapy. Needless to say the Shipman’s were skeptical. The vet says the laser stimulates cell activity and is used for a variety of medical problems like arthiritis, chronic pain and back injury.
After two treatments Barley was tottering around again. After six, Barley was back to running around the yard.
The laser treatments ended up costing a few hundred dollars, but the extra time with Barley is worth the cost to the family.
“I mean he’s actually better than he was a year or two years ago,” said Evan Shipman. “We get pretty choked up thinking about how close we were to putting him down.
The Shipman’s are looking forward to celebrating Barley’s 15th birthday next month.
