Nurses at a hospital in Dundee, Scotland, granted a dying man’s wish to say goodbye to his dog just hours before he passed away.
Peter Robson had the chance to see his beloved border collie, Shep, at Ninewells Hospital after nurses granted special permission to do so. Shep, bought as a puppy eight years ago, had provided companionship and comfort for the 70-year-old grandfather after the death of his wife.
Robson passed away shortly after the visit.
His granddaughter, Ashley Stevens, paid tribute to NHS Tayside charge nurse Cheryl White who sorted out the visit.
“Absolutely amazed and touched today from NHS Ninewells hospital, our grandad’s last and final wish was to see his dog one more time,” Stevens wrote on Facebook. “Still in shock that the wish was granted and they went above and beyond today and made a dying man very happy.
Cheryl White charge nurse of Ward 3 you are an absolute angel and we are all eternally grateful, you don’t know what this meant to our grandad. I’ll let these moments do the talking, thank you NHS.
Please share this everyone…
