An ambulance was racing back from a long day of emergency calls when it came to a sudden stop. A dog sat firmly in the middle of the road, refusing to move. Flashing lights and honks didn’t budge it.
Concerned, a paramedic stepped out, expecting an injured animal. But the dog calmly stepped aside, then began walking toward nearby bushes—pausing often to make sure they were following. Curious and uneasy, the crew followed.
Suddenly, the paramedic shouted, “Quick—over here!”
Under the brush, they found an elderly man unconscious, his lips blue, pulse weak. The medics sprang into action—administering oxygen, injections, and quickly loading him into the ambulance. The dog followed close behind the entire way to the hospital.
At the ER, no one turned the dog away. Staff gave it food and water, quietly touched by its loyalty.
The next day, the man was stable enough to move to a regular room. Staff members begged the chief doctor to let the dog visit. At last, he agreed.
When the dog entered the room, the man slowly lifted his head—and began to cry. The dog gently leaned against the bed with a soft whine.
From that moment, the man’s recovery picked up. Each day, he looked out the window, waiting for his friend—promising long walks once they were both free to go home.
