Ashley rushed her small dog, Nimbus, to the animal hospital after tragedy struck. She tried to remain calm in the waiting room as Nimbus was in with the doctor.

As if this information wasn’t heartbreaking enough, the doctor went on to say, “He will walk again if he wants to walk again.” Ashley was devastated. How could she expect her dog to just decide to walk again? Was this a cruel joke? Nevertheless, she signed Nimbus up for physical therapy and prayed.
