Brad White, a Pittsburgh man who suffered a traumatic brain injury following a cycling accident last July, recently reunited with his beloved dog, Sage, after spending two months in intensive rehabilitation.
His wife, Alyssa, posted the heartwarming reunion footage on Instagram, capturing the pair’s first moments back together when White returned home. Sage instantly recognized and excitedly — but gently — approached her wheelchair-bound guardian, who looked equally happy to see his furry friend.
White, a cycling enthusiast, crashed his bike in the early morning hours on July 7, which resulted in brain bleeding and a prolonged coma. White is now slowly re-learning how to perform basic everyday functions, including walking and talking, and faces a long road to recovery.
During Brad’s time away, Sage comforted Alyssa and helped her remain strong. Now, Alyssa is counting on the sweet dog to provide the same support to her husband.
“Sage held me when I was sad,” she said, “and I so pray that she’s the balm your healing heart needs right now.”
Touching moments like this remind us of the powerful bonds between humans and dogs, and Lady Freethinker wishes Brad the best of luck during his recovery.

Magnifique!
God bless you Sage. You will bring Brad back to health ♥
Amen.

This is so sweet, Animals love, feel pain, happiness and bond with other animals and humans.
Dogs are truly the best 🐶🐕🐾❤.
Awesome is the love of your dog. I was in rehab for 2 months after back surgery with complications. My neighbors stepped up and took care of my animals. When I got home there were 3 of us on the couch for over a year before my two dogs finally realized I was home for the duration. Trying not to leave them again. Cramped but I wouldn’t kick them off the couch for anything. Got a bigger couch. The love of dogs is just special.
Adorable! As the saying goes: ‘dogs are man’s best friends’, and it seems to be very true.
So Sweet!
Stop killing innocent Animals peoples bastards
That’s the best news to date as it proves this dog is a TRUE MEMBER OF THE LOYAL FAMILY.and a TRUE SILENT CHRISTIAN but alas those who torture and eat dogs don’t think so. Put these people down. Where the fuck is Hitler? Never mind Covid 19 should do the trick I hope. Dog Bless. [email protected]
