It’s a devastating snapshot of a friend in grief.

This photograph, shot on a roadside shows a Great Pyrenees unwilling to leave the side of his friend who had died.

The other dog appeared to have been knocked down by a vehicle. He was simply kind of sitting guard, like a statue, just sitting there watching over his friend’s body.

Passers-by noticed the dog and phoned to alert the local animal shelter. A volunteer, went to the site to help the dog.

‘He’s definitely being loyal to a friend who passed away and he’s mourning,’ Stated the rescuer.

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

It is still unknown if the dog is a stray or if it was lost. It was unambiguous nevertheless that it cared for its friend.

“Whether it was his friend in his yard at home or if they met up as strays, but something compelled him stay by her side.”

The Loyal dog was also injurt in his back legs. The volunteer buried the deceased one and brought the other with him home. bathed him and gived him a delicious lunch.

He has other rescue dogs so the poor puppy was really happy with other dogs.
