Video: Dog with no snout taken to US for treatment The dog, called Kabang, got its injuries when it walked into the path of a speeding motorcycle just as it was about to hit two young girls crossing a road last December in the Philippines, local media reported. Kabang, a mixed breed who resembles a German shepherd, got her head caught in the motorcycle's front wheel. The crash ripped off her snout and upper jaw. A nurse from New York initiated an internet campaign that raised around $20,000 for Kabang to be taken to the US for reconstructive surgery. Kabang was able to save the lives of two children. So now she needs our help. It's our turn to save her life," vet Anton Lim said. After a send-off ceremony that included a motorcade with 300 dogs, a team of Filipino veterinarians brought Kabang to the United States early this week. Surgeons at the University of California Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital examined the dog ahead of a procedure called maxillofacial reconstructive surgery. The first of two operations will repair the dental area and the second will fix a wound on Kabang's face. The doctors have no plans of making a prosthetic snout or replacing the dog's jaw, US media reported the hospital as saying. Kabang is expected to be in the veterinary hospital for six weeks.
