Shelby walked confidently into the hospital while carrying Patsy covered in a blanket. Instead of a concealed dog, everyone assumed there was a baby behind the blanket.

When her niece walked into the room, the grandmother was amazed. She didn’t even have a hint as to what may be there. But when Shelby took the blanket off, Grandma’s joy at seeing her lovely dog again left her speechless. It was all she needed.

When their story was shared on Facebook, someone else claimed to have done the same for his grandpa.

“I did the same thing for my grandfather while he was in the hospital, although it was more difficult to get in with ours.”
