There is no greater loss in the world than the loss of a loved one!
Even our beautiful four-legged companions have a hard time filling the void when their owners are away.
One such story comes from Compton, California. I couldn’t bear the thought of my one year old dog not coming back from the emergency room where he was last seen there. He waited for days and even survived the storm. But no familiar faces have come out of these doors…
the greatest honesty
So he sits on the street and waits
Staff at Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital witnessed one of the greatest “human-dog bonds” in history when they admitted a critically ill patient.
A man was taken in an ambulance outside a hospital and his dog went there!
He ran to the door of the hospital emergency room where his owner had entered the hospital. According to him, this faithful girl never left her master’s side. Because she was eager to get in too.

She was stopped at the security door, but that didn’t stop the stunning girl from waiting for her owner outside the building. Unfortunately, her favorite watermelon in the world died shortly after adoption, and she didn’t know it!
She waited for him outside the hospital for ten days, without food or a place to sleep.

A dejected and sad dog looks at the door every time someone comes out, hoping to see a familiar face, but it never happens. The hospital staff followed him for a few days, but every time they tried to help him, he wouldn’t let them get close… so they decided to call for help!
A Glimmer Of Hope Around The Corner
Hospital workers called Suzette Hall, of Logan’s Legacy, from Irvine, California, to try and save the poor pup. When she heard the dog’s story, Hall immediately rushed into action.
“This sweet baby girl was still there waiting even through the hurricane. She is heartbroken, you can see it in her eyes… so incredibly loyal,” Hall wrote on her Facebook.
Hall set a humane trap filled with delicious treats, and eventually, the dog got in.
Even though she was peaceful and calm throughout the rescue, Hall could perfectly see the sorrow in her eyes and feel the pain she was feeling over her lost owner.
Even inside the trap, she would still look in the direction of the emergency room, hoping to see him one last time.
Hall did everything in her power to comfort the mourning pup, after which she took her to Camino Pet Hospital for a checkup.
Ready To Be Loved Again
After the care she received by the hospital staff, the dog, later named “Hilary” (after the hurricane she survived) was sent to the most amazing foster home.
“Laura is loving her , and helping to heal her broken heart. She is in the best hands. The hospital staff had named her Hilary because she waited through the storm,” says Hall.
Her foster, Laura, did everything to make Hilary as comfortable as possible, and after some time – this pawdorable girl reciprocated!
Eventually, she started socializing with other people and dogs, slowly adapting to her new environment.
“She loves people and other dogs! She’s about 1 and is just over 12lbs. She is a smart girl and should be a lot of fun to train. She is still a bit nervous on walks, but every day is getting better and better,” says Laura.
When the time comes, we’re absolutely pawsitive that she will make some family really happy – and get the fresh new start she needs!
