Meet Ingrid, a pitbull perhaps taking more Viagra than any
man could afford to take on Long Island.
"It saved Ingrid's life. Without Viagra we wouldn't have her with us today,"
said Jodi Record.
Ingrid has to pop the blue pills just to stay alive, according to her
caregiver Record.
"She takes two pills twice a day," said Record.
Ingrid, who takes her time getting around, was rescued by workers here at
Little Shelter in Huntington, NY some two years ago.
"She spent her life tied to a fence and when we found her she had 14 pounds
of fluid on her abdomen," said Record.
The pup, whose cheery disposition defies her hard luck, was used as a "bait"
dog to incite dog fights, according to her profile on Little Shelter's
website. In addition, Ingrid was diagnosed with heartworm and a severe heart
condition that needed immediate regulation to keep her alive.
A veterinarian would suggest Viagra as a solution to keep the small pooch up
and running, saving her life. And it appears to be working.
"Viagra opens up the blocked vessels that go to the heart so it allows the
blood to flow through the body," said Record.
