DONNY, an 11 year-old boy, is playing with a ball. The ball goes into the street, and
Donny runs to pick up the ball. A car hits Donny. An ambulance takes Donny to the
hospital. The doctors at the hospital tell Donny's parents, ''Donny is in coma. Maybe he
will wake up tomorrow. Maybe he will wake up next week. Or maybe he will never wake
up. Every day Donny's parents visit him at the hospital. They sit next to Donny's bed and
talk to him. But Donny never talks to them. He just sleeps. One day Donny's father says,
"Wake up, Donny. Wake up and come home. Please come back home and play with
Rusty'' Rusty is Donny's dog. When Donny's father says "Rusty,' Donny moves his arm.
''Rusty!" Donny's father says again. Again, Donny moves his arm Donny's parents have
an idea. They tell the nurses, "We want to bring Donny's dog to the hospital. Is it OK? ''A
dog in the hospital?" the nurses say. That's very unusual. At the beginning the nurses
asked to Donnys parents to let the dog out. But after a few minutes they said yes, it's
OK.' The next day, Donny's parents bring Rusty to the hospital. When they put the dog
on Donny's bed, Donny opens his eyes and feel up to hugs the dog. Donny's parents bring
Rusty to the hospital every day. One day, Rusty jumps on Donny's bed and scratches
Donny's arm. Donny says his first words "Bad dog!'' After seven weeks Donny is well.
He leaves the hospital and walks out home. Rusty goes home with him.
