The Boundless Love Of A Dog For Its Owner Admitted To A Hospital
When images of unlimited love that a dog can express for its owner are uploaded to the web, they will most likely immediately go viral. This was the case of a video that shows the reunion of Lobo, a beautiful German Shepherd, with Rodolfo Castillo, its owner, who was admitted to the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital, in Santander, Cantabria.
Wolf, the dog that feels unlimited love for its owner
The man, who suffers from a spinal cord injury, had been hospitalized for 2 months due to a sore on the sacrum. During all that time he had not been able to see Lobo, who in addition to being his assistance dog is, above all, his great friend.
That is why the emotion invaded all those present when finally the furry man was able to visit Castillo and thus express to him, licking his face as much as he could, the unlimited love he feels for him.
” The reunion has served me as therapy, I have recharged the batteries,” said Rodolfo. He added: “We had been separated for too long. We missed each other ”. And it is that the hospitalization was not going to be for more than 10 days but due to a complication it was extended in time.
The story of Lobo and Rodolfo
Castillo and Lobo have been inseparable for six years. He himself trained him so that he could assist him. “It’s like it’s my hands and my legs. If I don’t go with him I feel naked, ”he explains.
Rodolfo suffered a traffic accident more than 15 years ago that left him in a wheelchair. In addition to not being able to walk, he also cannot move his left arm.
Thus, the dog, in addition to accompanying him, assists him in various matters. From activating the light switch to alerting of the existence of a curb, going through a long list of etceteras.
How Lobo’s meeting with his owner was created in the hospital
Although the legislation of Cantabria does not authorize the presence of animals in health institutions, Lobo’s visit was the first exception, since the issue is on the authorities’ agenda.
Thus, Rodolfo’s relatives and the nursing team gathered in the room to witness the happy reunion.
When Lobo’s leash was removed when entering the room where his owner was, he went straight to sniff the wheelchair. Meanwhile, Rodolfo watched him hidden under the covers.
But the furry man immediately saw his owner on the bed and pounced on him to fill his face with licks and thus express the limitless love he feels for him. Meanwhile, Rodolfo caressed him and said: “How long…! That I have not abandoned you! “
Here we leave you images of the long-awaited reunion.
Castillo was discharged and Lobo is happy
Separating Lobo from his owner again was not easy and he had to be pulled on the leash to get him out of the hospital room. But luckily, Rodolfo has already been discharged and little by little he is resuming his normal life with the dog.
Meanwhile, Lobo was left in charge of Castillo’s family and friends. But the absence of his owner caused him a lot of sadness and he waited for him until late at night on the access ramp to his house.
Castillo plans to become a dog trainer in the near future. For now, he enjoys the company of his great friend as he continues his recovery.
