In this photo taken on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015, veterinary nurse and radiation technician Corrado Picarulli, right, and veterinary assistant Yoshiaki Kobayashi, left, lift Dakota, a giant 7-year old Bernese mountain dog, onto a linear accelerator to administer radiation treatment for a snout tumor, at the new Cancer Institute at Manhattan’s Animal Medical Center in New York. The clinic opened last month with a 22-member team that treats about 120 animals each week. Machines include a CT imaging scanner and linear radiation accelerator, which were built for humans and require animals to be anesthetized and tied down to lie perfectly still.
