    When my brother-in-law was in hospice hospital, he had been in a coma for days, no response to anyone, the end could happen at any time. My sister hadn't left his side but had their adult son bring in their dog of many years. When Bert arrived and saw his 'dad' who he hadn't seen for weeks, lying in the bed, he got so excited and started to bark. My brother-in-law's eyes flew open and he said, "Bert..." That was his last utterance.

    My father had Alzheimer’s and aphasia. He could not talk anymore so we were told. Brought my Weimaraner to visit him one day and Lo and behold, my dad said something like ‘pretty girl’. His eyes would lit up when he was with my dog. Dogs are God’s blessings to mankind

    That's amazing that Cake's "Papa" seems to remember her. Even if he gets to the point where he doesn't remember ever owning her, I don't think he'll ever stop enjoying visits he gets from her. Some connections we have with others, whether they're human or not, are unbreakable and unforgettable.

    NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON A DOG. They are Angels that work so hard to be kind & serve the disabled, the military, the police, drug trafficking, Emergency Issues & emotionaly support. It takes a human about one year to be potty trained. But with puppies, people can be very cruel & impatient. Love is not about what the dog can do for you, it is about being an adult & being responsible, no matter what life throws at you or where you move to be a FOREVER HOME TO THAT DOG OR DOGS.

    My grandparents adopted me and it saved my life, we had a cat that we rescued and had passed away after 16 good years together, it really hurt my papa as he was my grandfather's baby. My grandfather decided he absolutely never wanted another animal and one day me and some friends were on a trip and found this runt of dog on the side of the road and I immediately took to it and brought it home to my grandparents. My grandfather absolutely fell in love and so I knew this runt was in good hands. They now have a super strong bond and she refuses to leave Papa and will whine unless he let's her follow him around or sit on his lap.
