Before the operation, the boy hugged his dog, but suddenly the dog jumped off the bed and attacked one of the doctors: everyone was horrified, realizing the reason for the dog’s strange behavior π²π²
There was silence in the small ward. The five-year-old boy lay on a snow-white sheet, his eyes were huge and tired. The doctors told his parents that the operation was his last chance.
The nurses were preparing him for anesthesia, and suddenly the boy quietly whispered:
– Can… Archie come to me?
– Who is Archie, darling? – one of the nurses was surprised.
– My dog. I missed him very much. Please… – the boy’s lips trembled.
– You know, dear, animals are not allowed in the hospital. You are very weak as it is, understand… – she tried to explain.
The boy turned away, and tears glistened in the corners of his eyes:
– But I… I may never see him again.
These words pierced the nurse’s heart. She exchanged glances with her colleagues and, unexpectedly for herself, agreed:
– Okay. Just for a minute.
An hour later, the boy’s parents brought Archie in. As soon as the dog saw his owner, he rushed to the bed, jumped up and pressed himself against the boy. For the first time in many weeks, he smiled and hugged the dog tightly.
The doctors and nurses watched this picture with wet eyes: the friendship between man and dog was stronger than pain and fear.
But suddenly Archie became wary. His fur stood on end, he abruptly jumped off the bed and rushed to the corner of the ward. The surgeon who was supposed to perform the operation was standing there. The dog barked so furiously that it seemed like it was about to b:ite the doctor.
– Get rid of this creature! – the doctor screamed, recoiling. Colleagues rushed to calm the dog down, but suddenly one of the doctors looked strangely at the surgeon and suddenly understood the reason for the dog’s strange behavior π±π± Continued in the first comment π π
