Let compassion break the Rules!

Back before we knew that animals can benefit humans and their healing, a young nurse let her compassion for a patient push her to break the rules. Her patient was dieing everyone agreed. The doctors and nurses on the floor all knew this was it the patient's heart was not strong enough to sustain her life for much longer. One kind nurse spoke with the woman's "best" friend who admitted she really was not that close to the patient that in reality her closest friends were her dogs. The patient had not seen her two dogs since her heart attach about two weeks before. Sandy the nurse decide the woman should get to see her dogs one last time. Sandy spoke to the night staff and got their agreement and early in the morning she brought the woman's two dogs to her, and after days of being in and out of awarness the woman woke up and began petting the dogs and smiling. It was a good visit. With in two weeks she walked out of the hospital with heart pumping strong. The power of love no matter what form in takes is healing.
Remember those people and beings you love this holiday season, we never know when we need their kindness and love.
