The 2001 Mauling Death of Diane Whipple by a Pair of Her Neighbor's Presa Canario Mastiffs

**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!!  Skip ahead about a year!**

Today we take a journey north to the beautiful city of San Francisco, where a very ugly event took place on January 26, 2001.  Today’s tale is the story of two killers…but they were not human, they were dogs - two very large, vicious Presa Canarios named Bane and Hera.  I will take you through the details of the mauling that horrified San Franciscans and the years of legal battles that followed. We are also going to touch on the topics of responsible dog ownership, bully breeds, and breed specific legislation.  This is the story of the death of Diane Whipple.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
