Nurses Go Above And Beyond
For many people, their pets are considered part of their family. Sherry Henderson understands that, and went out of her way to comfort a patient.
On Jan. 9, Sherry Henderson spent two and a half hours searching for someone to go look after an ICU patient's dog. The dog had been alone for more than 24 hours, and they and unable to locate any relatives. After calling Animal Control and the Cape Coral Police, Sherry got the police to come and get his keys so the dog could get taken care of. Sherry was then able to contact the patient's daughter via a neighbor. The daughter lives in Naples, and was able to get "Taco" and take him home with her. Since then, the patient has left the hospital and he and Taco have been reunited!
