The Jordanian Royal family’s dog was treated in an Israeli veterinarian hospital in the midst of Operation ‘Cast Lead’, Israel’s daily Yediot Acharonot reported Sunday. In a secret operation, the sick dog was transferred to the Beit Dagan hospital for treatment.

A few days later, despite the excellent medical treatment that King Abdullah and Queen Rania’s canine received, their prized pet passed away. The deceased dog was returned to Amman with a sincere apology from the hospital staff for its inability to save the doomed dog.
