Dog Saves Mother’s Life and Refuses to Leave Hospital Bed While Doctors Fought for Her Life

A selfless dog refuses to leave her mom’s side, laying on the hospital bed while doctors fight hard to save the woman’s life.

When a 17-year-old girl bought home a service puppy, she had no idea the pup would one day have the potential to save her life.

When Shauna Darcy first welcomed Ruby into her house, she thought the dog would help her cope with her anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia—an extreme fear of leaving one’s home.

As time passed, Shauna realized Ruby’s presence had a calming effect on her. The girl managed to finish school with the pup’s help. But beyond her academic years, Shauna’s anxiety took over once again, and she couldn’t brave herself to leave her home.

Due to her anxiety, Shauna missed Christmases, birthdays, and refrained from visiting her family in Melbourne. She just couldn’t muster the courage to exit her house.

Ruby’s presence by her side gave Shauna a bit of comfort to overcome her obstacles. She decided to expose her pet to a little formal training, bearing that in mind.

The girl wasn’t sure if she qualified to have an assistance dog, and after having Ruby’s temperament tested and approved, she started training her.

Fast forward to a couple of years, Shauna, now in her 20s, saw Ruby as more than just her companion. The dog was her “lifeline.”
