A Hospital Bent Their Rules To Grant A Dying Man's Last Wish To See His Dog, And Nobody Expected What Happened Next (Video)

When James Wathern was admitted into a Kentucky hospital, his health was declining quickly and he was thought to not have much time left. Social workers who were talking with Wathern discovered that his dying wish was to see his dog, Bubba.

Although the hospital has a strict no-pets policy, they decided to bend the rules and tracked down his beloved elderly Chihuahua at his foster home.

Their reunion was emotional and heartwarming, and was luckily caught on tape! They report that Wathern’s health is steadily improving, and that now Wathern, as well as Bubba, are eating regularly and seem less depressed.

The healing power of animals is nothing to be laughed at. The hospital says they are now revisiting their no-pets policy after witnessing his improvements.

See their adorable reunion below.

Now here's some real puppy love.

A boxer from Polk County named Roxy has given birth to 14 puppies. It's oh-so-close to a world record. The Lakeland dog missed it by 1 boxer puppy.

To put this in perspective, boxers on average give birth to six puppies in a litter. Roxy was in labor for 12 hours.

Unexpected Complexity in a Spider's Tiny Brain

Here is something to keep arachnophobes up at night.

The inside of a spider is under pressure, like the air in a balloon, because spiders move by pushing fluid through valves. They are hydraulic.

This works well for the spiders, but less so for those who want to study what goes on in the brain of a jumping spider, an aristocrat of arachnids that, according to Ronald R. Hoy, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University, is one of the smartest of all invertebrates.
