Sick puppies take themselves to hospital

Two sick puppies in America found their own way to hospital and then waited patiently until they were treated.

The puppies were thin and unwell when they walked into the hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. They made their way to the lobby, where they waited their turn to be seen.

Hospital staff took pity on the puppies and they were taken to an office to be treated. The dogs were fed bits of sausage and bacon to get their strength up. The staff then arranged for them to be taken in by the Gulf Coast Humane Society.

Reporters at a local TV station, who had heard about the puppies, agreed to transport them in the TV station’s van.

The puppies will be at the Humane Society for a few weeks, but it is hoped that they will soon be ready to be adopted into loving new homes.

Check out a video of the puppies below.

    Dogs should either be treated well or not gotten in the first place. A dog is for life, not just for Christmas.
