When a human is sick or injured, their dogs just know. Dogs can sense when something isn’t right with their loved ones and oftentimes, they’ll do anything to stick by their side and comfort them. But dogs don’t understand human medical care. They don’t know why we use ambulances or why animals aren’t allowed in hospitals. As far as they’re concerned, these “no dog” rules are just challenges they need to overcome. So, a concerned little pup accepted that challenge when her dad was ill. She did everything she could to make sure she stayed by his side every step of the way.
Friends Forever
A small black and white dog went on her regular walk with her human dad, who is also her best friend. Even from afar, bystander Anderson Bahi could see the special connection between the man and his canine. But suddenly, the man fell ill while walking on the sidewalk. The poor pup knew her dad was in trouble, but she had no idea how to help!
Not long after, an ambulance arrived to take the man to the hospital. Unfortunately, the pup didn’t understand that. As the ambulance got ready to leave, she raced after it, determined to be with her human. She jumped on the back of the ambulance and held on tightly. Bahi couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“The love this dog has for her [human] is something very special. A faithful love,” Bahi said.
When the ambulance crew noticed the furry passenger on the back of the vehicle, they stopped what they were doing and let her inside. The lucky pup was able to ride by her dad’s side all the way to the hospital.

A Dog’s Devotion Never Ends
Sadly, the loyal pup wasn’t allowed in the hospital, but that didn’t stop her. She waited outside the building for her dad to come out. Local animal rescuer Maria Lúcia Muniz soon spotted the devoted pup and learned about her story. She offered to take the dog for the night to ensure that the pup stayed safe while her dad was being cared for.
Luckily, it didn’t need to come to that. The man only had to stay at the hospital for a total of 45 minutes. Then, he was ready to be reunited with his loving dog again. The man’s family later picked up the two best friends.
“It was very emotional,” said Muniz. “But thank God, the [man] was only hospitalized for 45 minutes. His family arrived to take him and his dog home.”
This heartwarming story proves that when we’re in trouble, dogs will be there with us for as long as it takes. Don’t ever take your furry friends for granted because they’ll always be there when you need them most.
