11 months ago she watched me leave in an ambulance. Last week we reunited. Now we’re velcro.

Hit black ice 350 miles away from home. I’m glad the fence post we rolled over pierced my window and not hers. She let the medics work on me, but she wouldn’t leave my side. She sustained mild injuries, but since she’s made of steel she was mostly just sore for several days.

The thought of her waiting for me kept me motivated during my recovery. Being reunited was very emotional for both of us. I didn’t know that dogs could cry tears!
