Young KC hospice patient feels love from Eric Stonestreet, Royals -- and a sweet pig

Young KC hospice patient feels love from Eric Stonestreet, Royals -- and a sweet pig 
The Kansas City Star, by Lisa Gutierrez; 4/9/24 
For more than three hours Sunday, a big ol’, droopy-eared Chester White pig from Kansas with the longest of eyelashes and the pinkest of snouts cuddled with Isabelle Sears. She brushed him over and over and over. The pig’s owner was awed by its gentle manners. So was Eric Stonestreet, the man who fulfilled Isabelle’s request for the visit. You see, 22-year-old Isabelle wanted to be a veterinarian. Then brain cancer found her, again. She is a patient of Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care, at home in the Kansas City area surrounded by family and her pets.
