Oh man hearing the fear in that guy's voice 😭 When one of my cats passed suddenly he was on the ground I couldn't think straight at all, called 9-11 (they don't deal with pets.) it took 20 minutes to get to a vet and I was just praying he could breathe a little. Later I realized it was a heart condition and there was nothing I could have done, but in the moment it is pure terror. Miss my little boy

I was on an Air Force base. They announced a dog was in a vehicle. Couple of minutes later, they announced dog was at an aid station :)
