A young girl fighting a serious illness had her day made when she was covered in a literal blanket of dogs thanks to a visit arranged by charity Pile of Puppies, with photos shared by the organization on July 2.

The images of Lilly were shared on Facebook, with Pile of Puppies writing, “Lilly may only be 10, but she had wisdom of an 80 year old.” They also wrote that Lilly’s father had died a year before she was diagnosed with “a rare autoimmune/cancer challenge,” named Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis but that Lilly, her sister and mother “are truly a force of light and positivity.”
