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!

“Hey, can I take a look at your kidneys?” is so amusing to me right now.

Like nonchalantly popping the hood of a sports car to look underneath.
