As you lay in your bed in your hospital/ward room, you get a knock on the door. A doctor says they have a little surprise for you, only to lead a slender looking Dalmatian dog into the room, who comes up to your bedside as the doctor leaves.

Oh, you poor dear...

You hear a warm, mother-like voice speak to you, but you see no one else. However, you're reminded of the Dalmatian, who seems to be propping itself up by putting its front legs onto your bed and look you in the eye. The voice couldn't have come from the dog.... Could it?
