It happened in Texas on a one hour ride to a hospital:

"About 20 miles into the ambulance’s journey to a Fredericksburg hospital, a driver flagged them down and told them there was a dog on the side of the ambulance, Brown said. Buddy, a 35-pound Beagle mix, hitched a ride on the small side step of the ambulance to be with his owner, 85-year-old JR Nicholson, a Mason County rancher."

Dog catches a ride on ambulance to be with owner - San Angelo Standard Times

Thankfully, the EMS guys took the dog inside the ambulance and went to the hospital with the owner and his dog.

That is so sweet. I'm also thinking, "You crazy dog, you could have gotten hurt!" I'm glad they're both fine.

Fantastic! I hope Nicholson lives many years so Buddy isn't left behind.
