The story unfolds in a quiet hospital room where a five-year-old boy, gravely ill and awaiting surgery, lies surrounded by doctors and nurses.

His condition is critical, and the upcoming operation is described as his last chance for survival. Despite the sterile calm of the room, an emotional tension fills the air when the child expresses a simple, heartfelt wish—to see his dog, Archie, one last time.

Initially, the medical staff hesitate, explaining that animals are not permitted inside the hospital due to hygiene rules and the boy’s fragile state. However, the child’s quiet words—saying he may never see Archie again—touch the nurse deeply. Overcome with compassion, she decides to bend the rules and allows the boy’s parents to bring his dog for a short visit.
