Badger appreciation post! I don’t often write things like this but this time I felt I needed to share. Over the past week, I’ve had a nasty chest infection which, unfortunately, had caused a flare up of costochondritis (painful inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage). After getting out of the shower and attempting to get dressed (keyword: attempting - I wasn’t doing so great a job) the pain got so intense I keeled over on the upstairs landing. Badger, downstairs, probably in front of the fire hibernating, heard me crying and came to the bottom of the stairs where we have a baby gate. Usually when I see him, if I’m upstairs, I’ll say the usual ‘good boy, Badge’ and he’ll trot away, satisfied - but I was in too much pain at the time. He tries a little woof, but I still can’t do anything. So, Badger literally rips open the baby gate and races up the stairs to sit with me until the pain subsides enough that I can call my other half to help. He doesn’t like stairs; they’re too steep in our house and he’s top heavy – but he came racing up them because I was hurting. He’s not a support dog, not trained to support me other than the cues he’s probably picked up over time, but he knew I was in pain and wanted to help. I love him so very much. -- source link
