The dog visits his owner (Video)

15 years ago, Rodolfo was in a traffic accident that left him in a wheelchair. Besides not being able to walk, he cannot move his left arm. So, a dog named Lobo is his companion and helps him with different activities. From switching on the lights, to warning him about the edge of a curb, Lobo’s unconditional love is endless. Rodolfo and Lobo have been inseparable for the past six years. But, time has not diminished their affection. He personally trained him to become an assistance dog. “It’s as though he became my hands and legs. If I am not with him, I feel naked,” he explains.

Rodolfo had to come back to the hospital. Originally, Rodolfo expected to stay in the hospital for 10 days. However, due to a complication, he had to stay 2 months. During that time, he was unable to see Lobo. Lobo’s unconditional love was expressed with slobbery licks all over his owner’s face. “This reunion was therapeutic and refreshed my batteries,” Rodolfo said. He added: “We spent too much time apart, and missed each other.”  

After 2 months of separation

Currently, the legislation of Cantabria does not authorize the presence of animals in health institutions. So, Lobo’s visit was the first exception, as the issue is currently on the agenda of the authorities. The relatives of Rodolfo and the nursing team were very happy to be witnesses of this special reunion. When Lobo’s leash was removed, he went into the room where his owner was staying. Then, he went directly over to the wheelchair and sniffed it. In the meantime, Rodolfo watched him from under the sheets. But he couldn’t hide for long! Lobo immediately saw his owner on the bed and pounced on him. Watch the video, the dog quickly expressed his unconditional love.
