Loyal Dog Waits Outside Hospital After Owner Dies For Four Months In Brazil

in #news7 years ago

The dog's owner was a homeless man. He was rushed to Santa Casa de Novo Horizonte medical centre after being stabbed in a local park. Unfortunately the man died from his injuries.

The man was taken away in an ambulance, whilst the dog chased after it trying to get to it's owner. The dog remained waiting at the doors of the medical centre ever since. The dog who's name is still unknown, has never tried to enter the medical centre. He just sat waiting patiently outside.

On February 27th, Cristine Sardella, who is a local resident, shared a couple of images of the dog on her Facebook page. Her post went viral telling the story of the dog sitting outside of his then four month wait.

"We have lots to learn from the animals," her post read. "He waits for him in vain, but the love he has for his owner is eternal."

She was actually waiting for an appointment herself when she first noticed the dog sitting outside.

Ms Sardella who is a local lawyer, told the website The Dodo, "He would get up to let people pass by, very politely, and then lay right back down again,"

The dog was arranged to be picked up by a rescue organisation by Ms Sardella, as the dog no longer had an owner.

Within a matter of days or being rescued, the dog escaped. By some miracle and surprise to everybody, the dog miraculously managed to walk over three kilometres back across the city, and get back to the hospital where his owner was taken.

Osvaldo Sobrinho, the hospital's director said that the were arranging for a veterinarian to vaccinate the dog. Another member of was also willing to adopt the animal.

This is not the first story to be released about dogs showing enduring loyalty towards their owners.

A famous story of a pooch from Japan named Hachiko, waited at a trainer station for almost 10 years for it's owner. His owner died in the 1920's after leaving it on the platform.
