‘I held him like a baby and he fell asleep in my arms, which the rescue said they’d never seen him do before.”: A puppy's surprising calmness comforts a grieving daughter in an ICU waiting room, an experience that left a permanent paw print on her soul

The ways in which we hoomans interact with our four pawed friends is varied and continues to surprise. From the wolves they once were who hung out with us for the promise of food, to the emotionally intelligent and understanding creatures that they are today, our doggo buddies have come such a long way. And the story we have lined up for you today especially speaks to this subject.

For you see, while a woman was greiving, a terribly difficult time with her mother, she found herself turning to the support of a pupper. Now keep in mind this is a pupper in a shelter, not one she knew from before, not one she had a rapport with, a poor pupper who was looking for a loving home. And in their limited time together, that simple pupper offered her more emotional support and comfort than almost any hooman could have. This is the story of how they found their way back to each other.
