Life sure would be boring if we didn’t have friends who were by our side every step of the way.
Some friends have two legs, and some have four as well as a whole lot of fur on their bodies. But, regardless of their extra feet, these friends can make our lives so much better.
Delvia González is a witness to this fact, as a pup became her most treasured best friend.
Best Friends Forever
Greka is a very sweet Pit Bull who happily lives with her mom, Delvia Gonzalez.
She, just like all other dogs, loves spending time having fun playdates, especially when they involve her favorite hoomans.
Even though she loves all the hoomans she meets in her life, there is one specific person who occupies a special place in her heart.
Since Gonzalez had to go to work every day, somebody had to take care of Greka, and luckily, she had the perfect person for the job.
González’s mom, a 70-year-old woman also named Delvia, decided to be Greka’s babysitter and it was the best decision she ever made.
“They kept each other company and always spent time together, spending their time playing fetch with the ball, and when they got tired, they’d start watching TV together,” González told The Dodo.
The two loved having fun together, and whenever Gonzalez wouldn’t feel too well, Greka would stay by her side until she felt better.
“My mother had diabetes, and because of that, her vision was affected. She could hardly see, so Greka was a support for her. When my mother felt bad or when she had a change in her glucose levels, Greka always told me, and she stayed by her side. She always laid at her feet wherever she was,” González said.
Unfortunate News
The pup remained by her babysitter’s side to the very end since, after being admitted to the hospital, Gonzalez passed away.
“Greka was the first to enter the emergency room. She was very desperate and worried about her grandmother. We wanted Greka to know that her grandmother would not return, and for that reason, the day we buried her, we took Greka to say goodbye. We brought her close to her coffin. She cried a lot. She trembled with sadness, but she understood that her grandmother was resting in peace,” she added.
True friends may be apart in distance, but they will always carry each other in their hearts. This can clearly be seen in a video Gonzalez shared on TikTok.
Gonzalez decided to put up a photo of her mother for remembrance, and as soon as the pup saw it, she refused to leave its side.
“She is very sad. She approaches the photo, takes the ball to her grandmother, and sits waiting for her to throw it to her,” Gonzalez said.
González made sure to comfort Greka as much as she could, and with that, she managed to comfort herself as well.
“I feel my mother with me every time I hug Greka or every time she brings me her ball. Her love for my mother has kept us together to endure this very difficult process,” she added.
But, their mother and grandmother are still with them, and that was proven to them on their recent trip to the beach.
Love is incredible. It doesn’t matter if it’s between two humans or between a pet and its owner, love has the power to immortalize.
Gonzalez will always be by their side, looking over them and making sure they always have a smile on their face.
