Dog Refuses to Leave Dying Friend After She Was Hit By Car

Dogs aren't only faithful to their owners but also to their dog friends. 

One dog was spotted refusing to leave the side of a dying friend.

Volunteers rushed to the dog’s rescue after a photo of the Great Pyrenees went viral on social media.

Animal advocate Julie Fennel told NBC: ‘He was just kind of sitting guard, like a statue, just sitting there watching over his friend’s body.

‘It really looks like (the other dog) was hit in the road, you can see the blood in the road, and it looks like he dragged her up onto the grass out of the road.

‘Whether it was his companion in his yard at home or whether they met up as strays, but something made him stay by her side.’

The dog was first reached by local animal lover Jessy Fairferlick who stayed with him and his dead friend until Fennel arrived.

He is currently being cared for by Animal Services as he was not wearing a collar.

If an owner does not come forward within 72 hours, the dog will be taken to SPIN Rescue, a shelter that specialises in rescuing Great Pyrenees.
