Waxman Staff Writer May 21, 2015 4:00 PM UTC A [public service announcement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nySUhtaf2QQ&feature=youtu.be) for an Argentinian liver transplant foundation shows a day in the life of an elderly man and his loyal dog. One night, the man appears to have a medical emergency and is taken to the hospital. The dog follows him there and is left to wander outside of the building. After what seems like hours, a woman in a wheelchair leaves the hospital, and the dog races up to her. The implication is that its owner, an organ donor, saved her life. ### 10 Puppies That Look Even More Adorable Underwater  Pringles & Pickme Seth Casteel  Monty Seth Casteel  Popsicle Seth Casteel  Ginger Seth Casteel  Ruger Seth Casteel  Rolley Seth Casteel  Iggy Seth Casteel  Reason Seth Casteel  Corey Seth Casteel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3892359/argentina-organ-donor-dog-psa/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3892359/argentina-organ-donor-dog-psa/"},"headline":"This PSA About a Man and His Dog Will Break Your Heart","datePublished":"2015-05-21T16:00:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:33.047Z","description":"Have tissues handy","url":"https://time.com/3892359/argentina-organ-donor-dog-psa/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Business topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcdf0eb9b1527fd9e/698851282dce013fdb9e3d49/dog-man-psa.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
