One last wish

- Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA -

A Veteran, Mr. John Vincent, was admitted to the Hospice Center at the Raymond G. Murphy Veterans Affairs Medical Center last week.

Mr. Vincent does not have any family in New Mexico and was forced to surrender his dog Patch.

Patch is in the care of Albuquerque Animal Welfare (AAW).

The organization posted on their Facebook page that Amy Neal, palliative care social worker said that Mr. Vincent had only one request, to see his beloved furbaby one last time.

Albuquerque Animal Welfare made it possible and arranged a reunion.

On Thursday, October 17, their Director Danny Nevarez, along with team members Joel Craig, Desiree Cawley and Celina Chavez-Fennell, took Patch to see his dad at the Hospice Center.

It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time to see Mr. Vincent holding his furbaby while they are looking at each other with so much sweetness in their eyes.

They had a chance to spend precious time together that they will cherish forever.

Patch was taken back to AAW after saying goodbye to his dad.
