Before the operation, the boy hugged his dog, but suddenly the dog jumped off the bed and attacked one of the doctors: everyone was horrified, realizing the reason for the dog’s strange behavior
There was silence in the small ward.
The five-year-old boy lay on a snow-white sheet, his eyes were big and tired. The doctors said to his parents that the operation was his last chance.
The nurses were preparing him for anesthesia, and suddenly the boy quietly whispered:
– Can… Archie come to me?
– Who is Archie, darling? – one of the nurses was surprised.
– My dog. I missed him very much. Please… – the boy’s lips trembled.
– You know, dear, animals are not allowed in the hospital. You are very weak as it is, understand… – she tried to explain.
The boy turned away, and tears glistened in the corners of his eyes:
– But I… I may never see him again.
These words pierced the nurse’s heart.
She exchanged glances with her colleagues and, unexpectedly for herself, agreed:
– Okay. Just for a minute.
