Nurse goes beyond duty and rescues a hospitalized patient's dog from the shelter

[Robert59]

It was right after Thanksgiving that registered nurse Jennifer Smith got an early morning phone call from John Burley, one of her favorite patients. He was distraught about his beloved dog, Boomer.

"I came into work the Monday after Thanksgiving to the phone ringing at 7 a.m.," Smith told CNN. "John was calling from his hospital room saying, 'Boomer is in the pound!' Boomer is in the pound!' Boomer is John's world."

We had a car wreck one Christmas time, and among the gifts in the car was a Lab puppy. After a 2 hour search at night my wife and I found the Pup and kept it a few days till they got to pick her up...

What a lovely woman, nurses are great people, but they
too have lives and families, so to go to such lengths to
help a patient is above and beyond, I take my hat off to
Jennifer Smith, a truly special person.

Mike.
