The ambulance was on its way from a call, the weather was not very good that day, there were many calls. Suddenly the driver slowed down. There was a beautiful dog sitting on the road.
She was not afraid of the car, as if she was waiting for it. The driver honked the horn, the dog did not move. Over the years of working in the ambulance, doctors have seen a lot, but this has never happened before.
One nurse went out and tried to chase the dog off the road. She got up and walked to the side of the road, but did not run away. The nurse returned, as soon as he got into the car, the dog returned to its place.
People were surprised, then the same nurse decided to go out and approach the dog. She did not run away, but did not let anyone approach her either. She just got up and went towards the bushes, looking around, as if checking if a person was following her.
The nurse suddenly stopped and started calling his colleagues. When the team arrived, they saw an elderly man lying unconscious near the bushes. It was obvious that he had lost consciousness and was feeling unwell.
The man was loaded into a car and taken to the hospital. The dog ran after him. The medical staff was amazed by the dog’s loyalty.
They fed him, petted him, and calmed him down. When the man was transferred from intensive care to a regular ward, the doctors allowed the dog to visit the man. Everyone tried to persuade the head doctor, and he relented, and the dog was allowed into the ward.
Everyone was happy. The dog whined and fawned, the owner cried and petted his faithful friend, even the medical staff shed tears. Since then, the man began to recover faster.
He often went to the window and looked out, talked to the dog, tried to go outside as soon as possible to see his friend. Such loyalty and love delighted everyone. The hospital diagnosed a stroke…
It turned out later that the man had gone for a walk with his dog, he felt ill, and fell. If it hadn’t been for the dog that stopped the car, the man wouldn’t have been saved. The dog had been living near the hospital walls all this time.
The owner’s wife couldn’t take him home. He resisted, struggled, even growled. The couple’s son was able to calm him down, put him in the car, and took him home.
But only a few hours passed, and the dog returned to the hospital. His devotion amazed everyone who heard this story. The nurses began to collect food to feed the dog.
Every morning, one of the nurses brought a bowl of water and some food. The dog looked at her gratefully, but did not go far from the hospital. It was as if he felt that his owner still needed him.
The man, lying in the ward, often asked about his friend. The nurses told him how the dog was waiting at the entrance. These conversations gave him strength to recover.
At the hospital, they started saying that the dog had become a kind of talisman. Patients who learned the story asked to see the dog. Some even went outside to pet it.
The dog behaved calmly, but did not allow anyone to take him far. He always returned to his place near the hospital. His eyes were full of hope and patience.
One day, the nurse who was the first to go out to the dog decided to find out more about the man and his dog. He talked to the owner’s wife, who came to visit her husband. She said that the dog had been with them for ten years.
The dog appeared in their family when he was still a puppy. The man found him on the street, hungry and freezing. Since then, they became inseparable.
The wife recalled how the dog always followed her husband wherever he went. They walked together every day, even in bad weather. This habit probably saved the man’s life…
