A seriously ill man has been reunited with his best friend after a medical emergency kept them apart for almost a week.

Kentucky truck driver Shawn Withee pulled into the Glenwood rest area off of I-29 and called 911. “They wouldn't let me take him in the ambulance with me, but I told them I wasn't going to leave unless somebody would take care of him.”

Geana Stoops of Hooves & Paws Animal Rescue in Glenwood found a foster home for Zeus while Shawn underwent surgery. “He was in the trucker’s truck and this is his buddy on the road,” said Stoops.
