The pet was in intensive care after experiencing health problems.

This is Cat Kukla and Jimmy, a couple from Massachusetts, USA, who decided to celebrate their wedding at the veterinary clinic where their pet was hospitalized so that it could accompany them on this special day.

Their 17-year-old dog, Bear, had been admitted to intensive care due to his complicated health condition just days before the ceremony.

Faced with this, the couple decided to ask the owners of the veterinary center for permission, move up the wedding date, and hold it there.

“I asked Jimmy if he thought we should get married at the vet to make sure Bear would be there with us. His response was, ‘I would marry you any day, any time,'” Kukla said in an interview with local media.

The couple decorated the clinic with floral decorations, and the bride walked alongside her four-legged friend, who rode in a decorated carriage.

After the event, which was moved up because the couple thought these would be their last moments with their faithful friend, the pet returned to intensive care and, fortunately, his health improved as the days went by.

Finally, Bear improved to the point that he was able to participate in the official wedding, which took place a few days later.

“We are happy to report that Bear has recovered and was able to attend the originally scheduled ceremony with the couple’s other dogs: Bentley, Fish, and Bruno. The newlyweds sent us photos of that special day. Congratulations again, Cat and Jimmy,” the veterinarian’s office stated on its Facebook page.

The owner also indicated that Bear had been adopted from a shelter when he was just a puppy. Some time later she met her now husband, who also became attached to the pet.
