Woman surprises her grandma with a very sweet gift, makes her day
By Mike-Ross
Dogs possess an extraordinary ability to bring joy and warmth into our lives, capable of brightening even the gloomiest of days. It's hard to resist the uplifting effect of encountering a delightful canine.
For individuals who are unwell, dogs can provide a special kind of solace. Sadly, hospitals often have restrictions on allowing dogs into patient rooms. However, one woman ingeniously devised a plan to sneak her dog in and grant her grandma a much-needed visit.
In 2017, Shelby Hennick's grandmother, Dona, found herself hospitalized due to a severe reaction to medication, as reported by Buzzfeed News. Shelby, a veterinary technician hailing from California, conceived a brilliant idea while preparing to visit her beloved grandma. She decided to bring along Dona's little dog, Patsy, to brighten her grandma's day and bring a ray of sunshine to the hospital room.
But because pets were not allowed in the hospital, Shelby had to get creative. She wrapped the little dog in a blanket, and held it in a way where it looked like the dog was her baby:
Thankfully, the dog knew to play along with the charade: “Patsy was quiet the whole time and actually kept licking my arm,” Shelby told Buzzfeed News.
It worked like a charm, and staff at the hospital just waved her through, not suspecting she was sneaking in a dog.
The act fooled Dona, too: according to Buzzfeed, she thought Shelby was carrying in her sister’s baby. But when she revealed she had actually brought Patsy in to see her, the grandma was delighted.
And Patsy was very happy to see his owner: “Patsy kept crying and couldn’t get close enough,” Shelby said.
Shelby shared the story on Twitter, and it quickly went viral with over 100,000 retweets. Many users praised her creativity, saying that while it went against the rules it was worth it to make her grandma’s day.
“Naughty, but so kind, bet it was better than any pill or injection,” one user replied.
“So heart warming,” another wrote. “I bet the dog was happier too.”
What a touching story! This little dog made this grandma’s day — good job sneaking him in
