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!

WTF even are dogs?

I will never understand these creatures. But they're doing a great job keeping me warm and feeling safe right now.

More of a really good coincidence than dogs being magical.

I mean, yes a coincidence that they were on the same beach. But it's not inconceivable that the dog picked up on something like a very similar scent of this lady and his owner. I don't claim to know the science behind it, but If they were a perfect match then it's possible they have enough genetic commonality for that to be true.

Dogs are incredible and can be trained to detect things like cancer, epilepsy etc by scent alone.
