Faithful dog waits for its owner for 83 DAYS after the woman was hit by a car and killed
Every day since its owner’s death on August 21, the loyal dog in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia would show up at the same spot where its owner was hit, awaiting for her return.
A faithful dog in north China has touched the hearts of millions after it was spotted waiting for its owner on a road for more than 80 days after she was killed there. Every day since its owner's death on August 21, the loyal dog in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia would show up at the same spot where its owner was hit, awaiting for her return.
Video capturing the devoted dog standing guard patiently in the middle of the busy road has been viewed nearly six million times, making the pooch an overnight star.
'It's been nearly three months now. The dog is always there, rain or shine. It's so touching,' taxi driver Guo Xinhua told China News. Guo said locals would try to help the dog by giving it food but it was scared of strangers, running away every time someone approached it.
But it would always return to the same spot later, he said. Net users in China were moved by the dog's devotion while some expressed concerns for its welfare.
Local charity Blue Hada is currently reaching out to the dog owner's family, according to the report.
Earlier this year, Chinese net users fell hard for a 15-year-old dog named Xiongxiong who would wait outside a train station in Chongqing every day for his owner to come home from work.
Both pets have been compared with
Hachiko, the famous Akita dog that waited for its owner at Tokyo's Shibuya Station every day in the 1920s.after its owner died in 1925, the dog continued to come to the station every day until his own death almost 10 years later. The story became legend and a statue of Hachiko was erected in the dog's memory in front of Shibuya Station.
