Linds.......I think that would have been Tony Rose........and you are right he is brilliant.
As a nurse running a pre-op clinic, I know that if I had any problems with patients, I could contact him and he would come and see the lady and give directions as to what he wanted for his patient.
He never bawled you out for contacting him, and though he was a consultant, he was the least 'consultoid' consultant I have ever met.
As far as the original query.......because dogs don't walk upright, they have less pain (the large abdominal muscles are essential for keeping us upright....and when they have been divided or cut, it hurts to be upright)........and also their operation site is usually on the flank.
