Her dog wouldn't leave the woman alone and the pair soon got chatting
A woman who waited years for a life-saving kidney transplant met her saviour in a lucky encounter at the beach.
The three got talking and when Lucy mentioned the fact she couldn't drink alcohol as she was on dialysis, Katie revealed she had recently joined the kidney donation register. Lucy's blood pressure dropped during her recovery as the kidney didn't "wake up" straight away. She then had to spend four weeks in hospital - but was on the same ward as Katie, so they spent time together before Katie was discharged.
Katie first applied to the donation register in 2019 and had a couple of appointments, but then the pandemic hit. She'd just resumed the process when she met Lucy and Cenydd and is grateful to their dog for helpoing her to change a life.
