Before the surgery, the boy hugged his dog
Boy’s Dog Saves Him from a Drunk Surgeon Before Surgery
A five-year-old boy awaiting a critical surgery asked to see his dog, Archie, one last time.
Hospital staff agreed, and the moment was touching:
the boy hugged his dog, smiling for the first time in weeks.
But then Archie became alert, growling and lunging at the surgeon scheduled to operate.
Nurses and doctors were shocked—until one noticed a strong smell of alcohol.
The surgeon had arrived intoxicated.
Archie’s protective instincts likely prevented a dangerous situation.
The surgeon was immediately suspended and lost his license.
The surgery was postponed and successfully performed by another doctor a few days later.
Hospital staff later said Archie wasn’t just a loyal companion—
he had acted as a guardian angel, potentially saving the boy’s life.
The story highlights the extraordinary bond between humans and their pets and the surprising ways animals can protect those they love.
