Before the surgery, the boy hugged his dog, but suddenly the dog jumped off the bed and lunged at one of the doctors:

A five-year-old boy, facing critical surgery, lay in a hospital bed, missing his dog, Archie. Despite hospital rules, the nurses allowed Archie a brief visit. The boy’s face lit up as he hugged his dog, their bond easing his fear. But Archie suddenly grew agitated, barking furiously at the surgeon preparing for the operation. Confused, the staff tried to calm the dog, until one doctor noticed a strong smell of alcohol on the surgeon. Horrified, they realized

he was drunk. The room fell silent; the parents were pale, and the nurses exchanged shocked glances. Archie’s growling persisted, as if protecting the boy. The surgeon was immediately suspended, his license revoked. The surgery was postponed, and a new doctor successfully performed it days later. Archie’s alertness saved the boy from a potentially tragic outcome, proving he was more than a loyal friend—a true guardian angel.
