#23: Goodbye Doesn’t Have to Be Forever

Sometimes we are faced with difficult decisions in life, especially when it involves pets that can’t take care of themselves. This man had to make the hard choice to give up his dog to a shelter when he had to spend a long time in the hospital; ultimately, it was the right thing for his dog. We can’t imagine how heartbroken he was going into the hospital knowing he would never see his furry friend again.

Or so he thought. Instead, he was surprised when one of his nurses brought in his dog to visit him. When she learned about what happened, she went out of her way to adopt. Every day she brings the dog to visit the man and promises to let them leave the hospital together as soon as he is better. If that doesn’t make you tear up a little (or cry uncontrollably, don’t judge), I don’t know what will.
