One-eyed chihuahua for the rescue
James Wathen was a 73-year old man who stopped eating and was very frail. He could no longer speak because of the illness he is experiencing. One day he was able to whisper to his nurse that he really misses his pet which is a one-eyed Chihuahua whose name is Bubba. Since his care team wanted to help James to be reunited with his pet, they were able to plan to reunite them both, despite of the fact that part of the hospital rules is to ban pet admissions. In order to immediately and effectively give James the chance to reunite with his pet, the medical staffs secretly works with the Knox- Whitely Animal Shelter, the place where his pet has been sent when he was staying in the hospital.
What the staff managed to sneak the pet is more on the emotional reunion that both of James and his pet showed. Bubba leap on his owner and started to lick his face while James stroked him softly and gently. Although James was aware that his pet dog might worsen his condition, but he was not prevented to see his pet. This is the reason why James has done complete turnaround on his pet. After his pet visit, James is already sitting up, eating and speaking. He doesn’t appear to be the same guy he was before and his pet is already doing better now.
