Standing on a step stool beside the hospital bed, a little girl holds the railing and softly sings "Skidamarink." Nala, her Australian Shepherd, lies intubated while veterinary staff work in the background.
The brief scene, shared by CBS Boston, ends with the girl leaning over to stroke the dog's head and neck. There is no update delivered to camera, just the song and a bedside visit.
Nala is recovering in intensive care at Tufts after accidentally ingesting ivermectin, according to the station's description. Her family says she still faces a long recovery, but moments like this help them stay hopeful.
The Short drew more than 36,000 views in its first 13 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for that format. Among the responses are requests for an update on Nala's recovery.
