I think 2 or 3 days ago, someone shared this very picture of a black Labrador Retriever who didn’t abandon his buddy that was fatally struck by a car.
Now this incident happened on La Puente street in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday. It was a very busy & dangerous road but the black Labrador didn’t leave his dead pal & that speaks highly about how loyal animals are & why we love dogs.
What is strange is that people usually make videos when animals are being hit but they don’t go & help them. Anyhow, Animal control officials responded to the scene when a man informed them about this accident & how another dog refuses to leave the side of his friend. In fact this man even made sure that no one hit the black dog.
They have named this two year old dog Grace. Since there were no tags on the dogs & no one has come forward to claim Grace, so now they are looking for a home for her.
DACC said in a statement: “(Grace was) laying in the street next to another dog, which was motionless and had suffered obvious head trauma,” according the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
“When I saw the video clip taken from a passerby's cellphone, it made me emotional,” the shelter's director Marcia Mayeda said.
This is not the first time that an animal has refused to abandon his injured or dead partner/buddy. In fact I once saw the clip in which a cat was trying hard that his dead partner must wake up. It was very touching. And I have seen a number of pictures/videos in which dogs don’t leave their injured or dead friends alone. In fact they even sit besides the graves of their owners.
I won’t say that humans should learn something from dogs, cause they can die a million times, but they can never be as loyal as dogs. In fact, they know how to leave a person in bad days or stab him in the back in good days. What really matters to humans is how fake they are & how much materialism mean to them in order to survive in today’s selfish world. Loyalty, sincerity, love, affection are things that are thrown in the dustbin just like that. In fact, these are meaningless words, because they just know how to take another person for granted.
Anyhow, Grace is being housed at the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, 4275 Elton Street.
Her impound number is A4416170, and she is available to visit with potential adopters through the weekend.
