A pet goldfish named George was so loved by his family in Australia, they dished out the dough needed save him from a tumor.
George, the goldfish with the white patch on his head, is now doing just fine, or “swimmingly” as the hospital said.
REPORTER, PAUL DOWSLEY: “Over the past year, George had developed a large growth on his head.”
DR. TRISTAN RICH: “The fish was having trouble eating, getting around, getting bullied by the other fish.”
GEORGE’S OWNER, PIP JOYCE: “Didn’t join in as much in their afternoon party games and stuff, you know?”
This particular operation was considered “high-risk,” The Washington Post reports.
