Dog hitches ride on side of ambulance after 85-year-old owner taken ill

Buddy <3

A DOG NAMED Buddy didn’t wait for an invitation when his 85-year-old owner had to go to hospital.

Four-year-old Buddy hitched a lift on the outside of the ambulance carrying Texas rancher J.R. Nicholson to Hill Country Memorial Hospital.

Ranch hand Brian Wright said that he summoned the ambulance after Nicholson complained of feeling dizzy.

The San Angelo Standard-Times reports that after about 20 miles a motorist flagged down the ambulance to say a dog was on a side step.

Buddy was then put into the ambulance with the patient.

Wright had stayed behind on the farm and became concerned when he couldn’t find the dog. When he arrived at the hospital to collect Nicholson later that day, he was told that the dog was safe and well there.
