The vet, true to his word, was ready and waiting. The vet immediately took the dog into the back, leaving Jeremy in the waiting area with the owlets tucked securely in their blanket. Hours passed, each minute stretching as Jeremy waited for any news.
When the vet finally emerged, his face softened into a reassuring smile. “Jeremy, you did something incredible,” he said, his voice calm yet filled with respect. “If you hadn’t brought the dog in when you did, it wouldn’t have made it. Thankfully, it’s stable now.”
