"A dog has donated his blood in order to save another pooch&amp;#039;s life. Samson the St Bernard was in desperate need of a blood transfusion after he underwent surgery on his twisted spleen. Luckily the receptionist at the vet practice owned Blitz, who was an exact match for Samson. Blitz the German Pointer saved the life of the large dog, with the latter pulling through after five hours of surgery, the Hull Daily Mail reports. Vet Sharrin Powers said: &amp;quot;His life was in the balance so it was vital he received blood as soon as possible.&amp;quot; After they both recovered from the procedure, the dogs were brought together to meet. However, Samson did not seem full of gratitude for Blitz. His owner Kerry Waterhouse said: &amp;quot;Samson is not aggressive, he&amp;#039;s just a bit grumpy, as being such a big boy he has had years of smaller dogs coming up to him and barking. &amp;quot;He is doing fantastic now - he just doesn&amp;#039;t want any more doggy friends.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Woman remortgages home to pay \u00C2\u00A310,000 for lost dog reward &amp;gt; Adorable dog runs up stairs - video "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
