Gratitude is something that dogs can easily give in spades. Dogs tend to show a lot of affection to us for little things, like giving them treats or taking them on a walk. So one can imagine the amount of thankfulness that a dog would have towards someone who saved their life.

Smokey was a pup who was saved from a brush fire that broke out at a homeless camp. He was pretty badly burned and was taken for treatment at the Jupiter Pet Emergency and Specialist Center. It was there that he was given the medical attention that he needed in order to get better. And it was this kindness that Smokey wasn’t about to forget any time soon.

Smokey was so grateful to everyone who helped him along the way, but he was particularly thankful to Dr. Latimer and his team of nurses who helped to save his life.

In a very heartwarming video, the recovering Smokey gets to express his appreciation for the medical staff who saved him. It’s impossible not to tear up a bit as you see the happy pup viciously wagging his tail and covering Dr. Latimer in loads of doggie kisses. Dogs really are the best.
