After being admitted into hospice care for poor health, all one veteran wanted was to see his beloved dog one last time. The palliative care nurse and local animal welfare officers worked together to make the dying man’s wish a reality. And the viral pictures of their reunion warmed hearts all over the internet.
John Vincent, a 69-year-old Vietnam veteran, was admitted to the hospital before being moved to a hospice in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in October 2019. Meanwhile, his dog, a 5-year-old Yorkshire terrier named Patch, was brought into the care of Albuquerque Animal Welfare center, according to Albuquerque Journal.
