My dog may have saved my life

https://photos.app.goo.gl/8DccJzxnERErvaTp9
Tiago, short for Santiago, 2 and 1/2 year old husky/malamute rescued his poppa from his loneliness amid the pandemic and California fires. Tiago had wandered through Northern California fire zones extensively as a runaway from suspected abusive and/or neglectful situation by behavioral evidence.
You'd never know he had a rough puppy hood now.
On my days off at my latest gig here in Palm Springs I caught a moment to let Tiago run while a dog park was abandoned. Tiago tends to not play nice with others, so I can only give him a free run and play session this way.
Tiago jumped on me, playing, toppling me onto my back, hard enough to knock the breath out of me.
That evening, there was blood in my urine that has been intermittent, episodic since that caused me to pursue care. Turns out there's a tumor in my bladder to be TURB'ed next week.
Had it not been for Tiago knocking me on my back, I might have not known of this condition until far more severe!
Tiago knows his poppa does something important taking care of people at someplace called a hospital. He gets a sad when poppa puts on his scrubs to go. Then he's so loving and full of embraces and kisses for his poppa when exhausted from the daily onslaught, lately getting a bit better, thank you vaccinated people!
Now he may well have saved my life.

14. I had a co-worker who said his dog saved his life.

He wasn't feeling well for some time, and one afternoon lied down on the sofa. He awoke later because his dog was licking his hand. At that point, he decided to go to the doctor; they discovered he was having a major heart problem (don't recall what it was), and that he probably would have died if his dog hadn't awakened him.

27. Tiago is a hero!

Precious pup.

My cat Othello saved my life I had undiagnosed diabeties and was passing in and out of consiouness and he was jumping on my chest over and over until I woke up. I realized that Othello's jumping didnt wake me up because it hurts when he walks on me. So I called 911 the rest is history. Othello is my valentine every year.

So glad your tumor was caught,you have the most handsome goodest boi of all the good bois. He's a hero of the highest order. Pets love us so much.

I wish you a safe procedure and swift recovery.❤️
