Beehive-eating Labrador Retriever Takes Home 2nd Annual VPI Hambone Award

At PetLynx Corporation we know that pet insurance is a great way to help keep pets HomeSafe. Here is a great story of how having the foresight to invest in pet insurance for their fun-loving Labrador has paid off for one California family!

Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI) asked the public to decide which pet with the most unusual health insurance claim in 2010 would take home the 2nd annual VPI Hambone Award.

Between August 2 and August 16, 2010 nearly 3,000 people visited www.VPIHamboneAward.com to choose among the 12 nominees and select their favorite.

The votes are in, and this year’s award goes to Ellie, a Labrador retriever from Santee, California. Bee-lieve it or not, Ellie  ate an entire beehive and its thousands of inhabitants!!
