Our pups are a big part of our lives. For many Moms and Dads, their canine companions are a part of their families and are just as important as any human part of their lives.
Lizzy Peake’s grandfather is one of those people. He loves his little pup, Holly, very dearly. But recently, he had to be separated from her due to an unfortunate incident. He suffered a stroke and had to be rushed to the hospital.
After he was no longer in the red, he wasn’t able to go home yet. He had to stay in a medical facility, where he was slowly nursed back to health through rehab. His family was very concerned for his welfare and were by his side constantly, but of course, they didn’t exactly bring Holly along with them.
Peake’s grandfather could barely speak at all, and it was difficult for any of his family members to make out what they were saying. But there was one specific word that they were able to discern: “Holly”. He was asking to see his beloved pup, the special family member who had been missing from his bedside gatherings.
Peake and her family quickly asked the facility for permission to bring the precious pup in. Luckily, it was granted, and they were able to bring Holly to meet her Dad! He was so incredibly overjoyed to see her, and the touching moment was caught on camera by members of the family.

Hopefully, Holly’s visit gave her Dad the strength he needs to pull through this difficult ordeal. We hope that he has a speedy recovery and can be back home with his beloved pup soon!
