It started with a nosebleed: red blood dripping from a pink nose onto the floor, leaving the white fur unstained. George was a 65 lb. Samoyed dog, seven years old, and the very picture of Stoic good health. I brought him to my local veterinarian who said "I can't find anything wrong with him. He is only bleeding from one nostril so he probably just has a piece of grass stuck in his nose.
