Animals have a special sense, and they can tell when you (or another animal) isn’t feeling well. When my brothers and I were growing up, we had a Shetland sheepdog that would follow us around the house and sleep next to our beds when we were sick – somehow, she just knew. When we felt better, the dog would go back to following around our mom.
It was rather nice to have her by my side when I didn’t feel good. In her own way, she was showing support and care by being so close.
In Bydgoszcz, Poland a black cat named Radamenes will cuddle and massage and even help clean the animals at a veterinary center!
Radamenes had survived a respiratory infection and was treated at the same Polish shelter where he now cares for the other patients!
