Patient asked to see his dog for the last time.
A seriously ill elderly patient at the Bassini Hospital in Milan saw his beloved dog Tota’s last wish come true in a surprising meeting in recent days.
The man was in hospital with a rapidly worsening form of cancer. He was aware of his fate and had initially asked the doctors if he could go home so he could spend his last days with his dog.
Since the medical community could not accommodate this request due to the sudden deterioration of the man’s condition, the meeting between the two was arranged directly at his hospital bedside, with the help of his family.
“A surprising, moving and emotional meeting for Signor Silvano, who was able to say goodbye to his beloved dog before his death,” reads a post on social media by the Azienda Socio Sanitaria Territoriale Nord Milano, part of the Bassini hospital in Cinisello Balsamo.
News of the man and his dog’s final farewell sparked a wave of reactions online, praising the medical staff for their humanity in making the special meeting possible.
