Summary:
Feznick, a 4-year-old kangaroo, underwent plastic surgery to repair his lip due to injuries from a wolf bite received at the Kern County farm for Hollywood animals the previous year. Feznick appeared at corporate events and had been featured in a movie for which he walked the red carpet at the premiere. The plastic surgeon performed the lip surgery free of charge as it was the first time he had ever worked on an animal.
