Here is a surprising story about a dog. The dog’s name is Gunner. Gunner has lived with his owner, Daniel Hove, all his life. But one day, Daniel hove fell ill. It was pancreatic cancer.
Grandfather Daniel was an Air Force veteran when he was young. After being discharged from the military, he had good physical strength enough to work as a firefighter. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer by a doctor.
His family was not the only one who protected his grandfather’s hospital life. His dog Gunner has always been with his grandfather when he was lying on the bed. The dog Gunner stood by his grandfather at a closer distance than his family. He never fell off his grandfather’s bed.
Gunner was an 11-year-old old dog. He was healthy, but as his grandfather’s condition worsened, Gunner also lost his energy.
In the end, Gunner crossed the rainbow bridge an hour before his grandfather died. Gunner shared his pain with his grandfather until the last minute.
Heather Nicolett, my grandfather’s daughter, told in an anecdote, “When my father was anxious, Gunner was anxious too.”
Grandfather Daniel’s family said they were sad when his beloved dog left but was happy to leave with a last greeting.
Netizens left a comment saying, “Gurner crossed the rainbow bridge first for his grandfather, who would be sad if he left him first.”
Rest in peace to Daniel and Gunner.
