During a recent hospital stay, I was lucky enough to have my dog by my side—and it made all the difference. Hospitals can feel cold and lonely, but having my furry companion there brought comfort, calm, and a sense of home.
The staff was incredibly supportive, recognizing how pets can aid healing. They made special arrangements so we could be together, and that support meant the world to me.
If you’re ever hospitalized and it’s possible, don’t hesitate to ask if your pet can visit or stay. Their presence can truly lift your spirits and help with recovery.
Having my dog with me reminded me just how deep the bond is between pets and their people. In tough times, that love is the best medicine.
