1
00:00:03,740 --> 00:00:08,200
Suddenly, a lump appeared on his head it was
like a half a golf ball,

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,020
it was a very rare form of cancer.

3
00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:15,780
Hi, I'm Kris Kapowski, I'm Murphy's mom, who's
a patient at Ontario Veterinary College.

4
00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:19,060
Murphy came to me in 2013, he was a rescue.

5
00:00:19,060 --> 00:00:25,240
My vet he brought his dog up here for cancer
treatment and he said you know they're doing

6
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:28,600
alot of innovative things up there, they did
some wonderful things for my dog,

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,080
this is where you need to go.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,660
My name is Dr. Michelle Oblak and I am the
Animal Health Partner's

9
00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:36,780
chair of Veterinary Medical Innovation
at the University of Guelph.

10
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:42,030
No one else has actually done a printed skull
plate, having access to this technology

11
00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:45,740
is really amazing because we can do things we
could never do before.

12
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:50,000
In Murphy's case I could sit down with Kris
and I could show her this skull and I could say

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
"Look, this is what we see on the surface,
this is what was going on underneath,

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,980
and this is how we are going to do the surgery."

15
00:00:55,980 --> 00:01:00,860
This could be something that could work and
that's really what convinced me.

16
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:05,800
We had the tumor removed and all of that was
done both virtually and, on the model,

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,580
and we were able to have a plate printed.

18
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:14,580
He's back to barking at everything and running
around his yard and doing his typical Murphy things.

19
00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:16,300
You would never know.
It's astounding.

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,160
It's miraculous really.
