EMT Adopts Heartbroken Dog He Meets On Way To The Hospital – Painful “The puppy was crying in my arms.”
Sammy adored her father above all else. He had just started his life with the 12-week-old Doberman mix when he unexpectedly passed away.
Fortunately, two sympathetic EMTs in Fort Worth, Texas, stepped in to assist, and it improved everyone’s life.
Tegan Sliva, the EMT who attended to the call, told The Dodo, “I spotted the puppy nestled up next to the patient, so I lifted her up.” “I held the whimpering puppy in my arms.”
Sammy didn’t want to leave the only family she had ever known because she was heartbroken and terrified. Sammy had nowhere to go but a shelter when Sliva and her EMT partner Kirk found her, and they couldn’t let that be her fate, so they took her in.
“We took her to the ambulance while we were putting our equipment away,” Sliva said. “We cleaned her up with wet wipes because she was covered in dust, and we gave her water.”
Sammy was watched by Kirk’s girlfriend while he finished his task. However, Sammy had found her new family before the end of the evening.

In spite of the devastating loss Sammy felt that day, things quickly turned around.
“She is now Kirk’s dog and has a big sister named Kaley,” Sliva said. “She is very playful and loves to run with her. She is loving life.”
Sammy’s life will always be filled with memories of her father, but for now, she has a second chance to create new ones.
