DOG ENDURES FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT TO STAY WITH CANINE BUDDY WHO WAS KILLED BY A CAR

 

A loyal dog watched over his dead four-legged friend overnight in sub-zero temperatures after the other dog was run over by a car.

 

The small white dog was killed in the middle of a busy street in the city of Yinchuan in north west China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, when he was hit by an unknown car.

 

Despite temperatures dropping to a chilly -13C another sandy-coloured dog stayed by the animal's side overnight, guarding the body as it lay in the road.

 

Passersby took photographs of the touching gesture, with images and video footage of the dog quickly going viral on the internet.

 

Other people placed a stool near to the two dogs so that they would not be struck by other passing vehicles.

 

Eventually restaurant workers removed the dead dog's body, and buried it under a tree in a nearby park.

 

They were followed along the route by the other dog, who stayed with the workers until his friend had been buried.

And another story of canine loyalty from Los Angeles a year ago:

 

A loyal Labrador retriever named Maggie, who was videotaped as she guarded the body of a yellow Lab hit and killed by a car in Southern California, was reunited with her family Monday.

 

A good Samaritan saw what was happening on Hacienda Boulevard in La Puente last Wednesday, called officers, put traffic cones around the dogs and took the video that touched hearts across the country as it made its way around the Internet.

 

Dozens of people called or visited the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control shelter in Baldwin Park offering to adopt the sweet-natured dog. The good Samaritan was the first to fill out paperwork.
