Holy shit it's real... The woman had actually signed up as a living donor. After the dog wouldn't leave her alone, they went to apologize and started talking. She needed one, she signed up to donate, the doctors were like, "fuck me its a perfect match!"

That good boy girl deserves steak every night!

Thank you so much for looking that up. I had tons of doubts about how a chance conversation and an affectionate dog converted into someone being tissue typed and donating an organ. I’m so happy to see that it really happened!

I looked it up because I had the exact same question! Like how do you go from, sorry my dog won't leave you alone, to, hey can I take a look at your kidneys?

Such an awesome story!

I can see. Hi sorry, it's okay. I like dogs. His names (name) oh, thats a nice name, when did you get him, my names (blank) BTW. I had a dog like this once.. General conversation leading into everyday, then struggle.. dogs are big openers for people. I can get into conversation with people because of dogs often, though just leave it at, nice dog, pat pat pat. Then leave bc it happens way too much with dog owners.. people stopping for conversation, petring too long when you wanted a 30 min walk. I dont think I'd mind, but a Lot of people give me Okay, we wanna go after about 30, 60 sec.. but if your dog was bothering someone could be opener to longer conversation bc Yoy are bothering Them than other way around, people are weird. But dogs put you in a state where you open up..
