What put Sophie’s surgery on the map was that it was the first time a boxer or any other type of dog with heart distress had received such treatment. According to Anna Gelzer, the Penn School of Veterinary Medicine cardiologist who performed Sophie’s surgery, the treatment saved her life.

Because Sophie’s heart condition — an erratic heartbeat — was the same type of problem and showed very similar symptoms as those experienced by humans, Gelzer believed the same high tech but routine procedure would work for her as well as it did for humans, and she was right.

I'd figure 4-5% of what it cost for a person.
