Sammy loved her father more than anything. When Sammy, a 12-week-old Doberman cross, suddenly died, she had just started her life together.
Fortunately, two sympathetic EMTs in Fort Worth, Texas, stepped in to assist, improving everyone’s quality of life.
Tegan Sliva, the EMT who attended the call, said, “I noticed the puppy cuddled up next to the patient, so I picked her up. The puppy was crying in my arms.”
Sammy was terrified and heartbroken that she would have to leave her only family. Sammy didn’t know where to go. Sliva and Kirk, an EMT, found Sammy and couldn’t allow that to be her fate. So they took Sammy in.
“We took her to the ambulance while we were putting our equipment away,” Sliva said. “We cleaned her up with wet wipes because she was covered in dust, and we gave her water.”
Kirk’s girlfriend watched Sammy while he finished his task. Sammy, however, had already found her family by the end of the night.

Sammy was devastated that day. However, things soon improved.
“She is now Kirk’s dog and has a big sister named Kaley,” Sliva said. “She is very playful and loves to run with her. She is loving life.”
Sammy’s life will always be filled with memories of her father, but for now, she has a second chance to create new ones.
