AT 94, canine chiropractor George Schofield continues to help dogs in pain.

The World War II veteran works six days a week from 10.30am to 4.30pm from a humble shed on his property in Yuroke, 30km north of Melbourne.

“These days I usually treat between six and 12 dogs a day, which is great because it gives me company.

“People have brought their dogs to me from as far as New Zealand and Darwin, and just last week a lady drove down from Canberra so I could treat two of her dogs,” said Schofield, a member of Greyhound Racing Victoria
