Dachshund mix visits owner in hospital: his emotional reaction touches so many
Florida (USA) - "Shorty" is not having an easy time at the moment. Her owner is currently in hospital, which is taking its toll on the dog. But recently she was finally allowed to see her owner again. Her emotional reaction has touched hundreds of thousands of people online.
Tj Roach said in a clip on TikTok that his father had to be hospitalized for heart and kidney failure. He assumes that his father will make a full recovery. For dog Shorty, however, the long absence of her owner is almost unbearable.
So TikToker came up with a great idea: he wanted the dachshund mix to visit his father in hospital. But animals are not allowed in hospitals for various reasons, including hygiene.
According to Newsweek, Tj was ultimately able to convince the hospital staff to bring Shorty along. The US-American, who lives in Florida, recorded the entire visit on video.
At the beginning of the clip, you can clearly see the furry friend trembling with excitement.
