The hospital froze when this dog came in. And then they saw what she was carrying…
The automatic doors of the city hospital in Kyiv opened and everyone froze.
The noise of the phones died down, the conversations ended. On the threshold wood a German shepherd, wet, covered in blood, with broken paws. But that’s not what contracted attraction.
On his back lay a little girl, unconscious, covered in blood, with one lost sneaker. The dog trembled with fate, but walked straight to the doctors. No one know who he was or where he came from, but it because clear to everyone that this dog had just arrived the impossible.
The corridor of the emergency room began to buzz, but immediately died down. Nurse Anna dropped a glass of coffee without even noticing the hot liquid pour into her robe. Something turned upside down inside.
Not fear, not horror, but material instinct. She stepped forward carefully, her palms raised, her voice soft. «Calm down, boy, I’ll help».
The shepherd grown low, but it was not a challenge, rather dispatch. Her whole body was shaking. Anna sat down and added in a whisper.
«You brough her here, didn’t you?» The dog met her gaze. There was something human, tired trust in those dark eyes. He staggered, and Anna rused forward sharply.
