Loading...Two Sick Puppies Take Themselves To A Human Hospital (Video)
Two emaciated puppies in desperate need of food and medical care took matters into their own “paws” when they walked into a hospital for humans in Corpus Christi, TX. Their rescue turned into a community coming together with help from the hospital, a news crew and an animal shelter.
When the puppy pair walked through the glass doors of Christus Spohn Hospital Shoreline last week they headed directly into the lobby where they waited patiently for help, alongside their human counterparts.
Jim Cato M.D. and his staff took pity on the skinny littermates and brought them into an office area where the dogs were given bits of sausage and bacon to ease their hunger. Next the staff directed their attention to the Yellow Pages, as they set about the task of finding an animal rescue group that would accept the puppies.
The Gulf Coast Humane Society Corpus Christi agreed to take the puppy pals, if someone would bring them to the shelter. By that time a news team from Kiii TV was on hand reporting the incident, so they decided to give the dogs a ride.
Dr. Cato and staff said their goodbyes and loaded the puppies into the back of the news crew vehicle. A few minutes later, the sleepy dogs were placed in comfortable crates at the Humane Society. They will be examined by a veterinarian, but expectations are high they will be ready for adoption in a few weeks.

It's a women's right to do as she choses with her body...even if some deem it immoral! Keep the doors…

I hope they stay together in an adoptive home that treats them like family, not dogs...
I pray due to their emaciated conditions that the SOB who had them gets found out and does time for his/her crime. Anyone who hurts and animal would also hurt women & children as well...
I do pray that the Humane Society does not go back on word and kill these pups instead. In my opinion the Humane Society is just another kill shelter...
THEY'RE JUST BEAUTIFUL! HOW SMART AND PERCEPTIVE OF THEM TO WALK THROUGH THOSE HOSPITAL DOORS! HOW COULD YOU NOT INSTANTLY FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM! I PRAY THEY HAVE A LONG, HEALTHY, COMFORTABLE AND LOVING LIFE.
There are hundreds of puppies out there who need help.I'm not surprised these pups went to a hospital. The connections has been documented many times, so many Animals know, most of the time before we are even aware that these is a sickness. I think its time we started learning from Animals, heck we are still trying to grasp trust, and unconditional love.
Kudos to those medics - when many would have had them removed jut for being animals, they did the smart thing and rang the local shelter....
Let's hope they'll both find a loving family
Great story and just goes to show that animals are once again...smarter than the average human! Curious as to whether they were treated under Obama care?
Thanks
Dogs are so smart. I'm so sick of evil people neglecting them.
That is quite amazing that they knew where to go and where they would be taken care of. I hope they get adopted together.
