About This Program ✦
Mile‑High Mutt is a programme presented in an episode format. It falls under the genre of a single‑episode show, offering viewers a concise, self‑contained story centred on canine emergencies and rescues. The episode opens with a golden retriever that has accidentally swallowed a child's dummy. Veterinary staff act quickly, moving the dog into emergency surgery to remove the foreign object and stabilise its condition. After the operation, the focus shifts to a separate incident in Oklahoma, where a stray dog has been struck by a car. The same team steps in, providing the necessary care and treatment to give the injured animal a chance of recovery. Both situations showcase the rapid response and expertise of the veterinary crew, highlighting the challenges they face when dealing with unexpected injuries. The narrative moves from the urgent surgical procedure for the retriever to the field rescue and subsequent medical attention for the stray, illustrating the breadth of cases the team handles. By the episode’s end, viewers see the outcomes of both interventions: the golden retriever emerges from surgery, and the Oklahoma stray receives the help it needs after the collision. The programme neatly ties together these two distinct yet related animal‑care stories.
