Our canine friends are known for their unwavering loyalty and the good boy of today’s story is no exception.
When his best friend – an adorable white stray dog he loved to play with – was hit by a car, this devoted dog stayed put, refusing to leave his side.
The busy road and the speeding cars couldn’t deter this loyal boy from guarding his fallen friend.
Many passersby who witnessed that heartbreaking scene said how they heard the dog whimpering for his friend to get up.
The poor soul probably couldn’t comprehend why his play pal was lying motionless on the ground.
He occasionally nudged him with his head, desperately trying to wake him up so they could resume their play.
But the other dog remained unconscious…
Speeding cars on the road carefully slowed down and maneuvered around the two dogs, ensuring they did not hit the standing one.
If only the careless driver who struck the first had made the same careful choice…
The two friends didn’t stay on the road forever. Soon, several kind-hearted people moved the motionless dog to the side, placing him in a nearby flower bed.
They knew the only way to ensure the loyal dog didn’t get hit was by moving his fallen friend’s body.
As expected, the dog followed them as they carried his friend away from the busy traffic, remaining vigilantly by his side among the flowers. Such a heartbreaking scene!
Eventually, the dog’s owner arrived and revealed that his pup and the deceased dog were truly close friends who loved each other dearly.
This is heartwarming since the late dog, who used to be a stray, had no home of his own – yet still had a family and a loving companion, however briefly.
The owner and several passersby arranged a proper burial for the good boy who was hit by a car.
I just hope he had a safe crossing over the Rainbow Bridge, and that his friend found a way to cope with the loss.
Unfortunately, such accidents are not rare. Dogs worldwide often fall victim to careless drivers.
Hopefully, stories like this one will remind us all to be more responsible on the roads to prevent the loss of more beloved pets.
