Things were looking great after the first days of recovery, and the puppy, who was later named Louie, was feeling much better. He even started showing his playful personality at the hospital, which is why everyone simply loved him.

“I thought, ‘That cute little face, he needs me. I can give him 24/7 love, and I need him’.”
