At 94, canine chiropractor George Schofield OAM continues to
help dogs in pain. The WWII veteran works six days a week from a shed on his
property in Yuroke, 30km north of Melbourne.
‘‘These days I usually treat between 6-12
dogs a day, which is great because it gives me company. People have brought
their dogs to me from as far as NZ and Darwin. Just last week a
lady drove down from Canberra so I could treat her dogs.’’
Schofield,
a self-taught practitioner, first made a name for himself as a greyhound
chiropractor.
For
decades trainers would bring about 30 race dogs to him each day so he could use
manipulation and massage to detect and treat injuries and to ensure their dogs
were ready for their next race.
Schofield
has helped many champion greyhounds, including Bold Trease, Temlee and Shans
View. In the 1990s he expanded his business to treat domestic dogs.
‘‘I started helping other breeds as well
as greyhounds because all dogs deserve to live pain-free,’’
Schofield said, a member of Greyhound Racing Victoria’s Hall of Fame.
‘‘Greyhounds
are my favourite type of dog because they have such a placid nature.’’
George
has also worked with the Victorian Police Dog Squad, the Australian Customs
Drug Detector Dog Unit, the Office of Corrections Dog Squad and with Dogs from
the Security and Emergency Services Group.
