John Vincent, a former Marine who fought in Vietnam, is 96 years old.
The veteran did not start a family and lived alone. Patch, his beloved puppy, was all he had. Even when he rode a Harley, he hardly ever parted from him.
Even the dog wore miniature spectacles for excursions like this.
There was nobody to leave the dog with when the elderly man was transported to the hospice. Patch was lent to an animal sanctuary for a while.
The workers at the shelter soon learned that John had limited time remaining.
The elderly guy asked one more thing. He desired to give Patch one more embrace when he saw him.
“As soon as we heard about this, we agreed. We made the decision to exert all of our efforts to ensure that this meeting occurred. Patch was soon brought to him, according to the head of animal welfare.
The crowd cried when they heard of Patch’s final encounter with John when he was just five years old.
John responded, “Yeah, it’s me, it’s dad,” as Patch licked his face. Do you enjoy my presence? I’m delighted to see you.
On Facebook, the Animal Welfare Service shared images from John and Patch’s final encounter. The post mentioned their heartfelt farewell.
It was such a touching occasion! To say farewell, they were overjoyed to run into one another. It gave me great pride to grant the veteran’s last desire, Danny remarked.
Patch went back to the abode. Yet he won’t be abandoned; he already has a new owner.
