Devoted Dog Spends 2 Years at Grave, Life Saved
Dogs are said to be man's most loyal animal, and this heartwarming story from China proves just that. Here is an extraordinary tale of a dog staying by its deceased owner's grave for two years in spite of severe health challenges. The condition the dog was in - unhealthy, alive with sickness, and even missing one of its limbs - did not deter the beast. It refused to leave. The story received a lot of attention on November 5 when a man running a shelter for stray dogs in China shared the dog's plight. He claimed that in 2022 he found this dog near a grave, limping on three legs and critically suffering from a skin disease. Locals told him that the owner of the dog had died and since then the dog was present near the grave. Although several people tried to adopt the dog, it would escape and return to the same spot every time, leading them to leave it there. When the shelter owner realized that the dog was deteriorating, he decided to take action. He took the dog to a veterinary hospital for treatment, promising to care for it and occasionally bring it back to visit its owner's grave. The dog received treatment for two months, after which it completely recovered.
True to his promise, after the dog had recovered fully, he brought it to the owner's grave. The reunion took some photos, circulating them online and touching many people's hearts. This is an amazing story of the unfaltering loyalty of animals but also very powerful human kindness to change lives. It's really a reminder of how bonded a human being is with his or her pet, not even in death. Recovery plus the dog's constant visits to the grave are facts that really testify to love and compassion that last for an eternity.
