There is nothing more stressful than having to leave a loved one while they're sick, and that definitely still applies to beloved pets. When your dog or cat has a medical emergency, having to leave them in the hands of a stranger is terrifying. Has your sweet fur baby even ever slept in any other bed before? Do they even know what's going on? How can you let your sweet animal family member know that you are coming back for them and that you're just leaving them there so they can feel better? It's all a very stressful situation. So when you know that you are leaving your pet with vet techs that treat them as if they were your own is more than comforting, it's #blessed.

Recently, someone on Reddit posted a photo of a nurse who ended up sleeping on the floor next to a recovering dog because he was too afraid to be left alone to sleep in the crate. This kind of dedication truly touched the hearts over many people online. They praise the veterinary technician (from Veterinary Emergency Group) doing an amazing job and even share stories of their own from when a vet tech was the absolutely best.
