Grieving dog refuses to leave dead owner

They had been best friends for years, so when his beloved owner died, there was no way dog Doki was leaving him behind.

Doki’s owner Leonardo Valdes, 23, was killed in a hit and run near his home in Concepcion, Chile.

The dog was with him when the accident happened, and stayed by his side ever after he died, refusing to leave his body on the street.

The above shot of the grieving pup waiting by this master’s body was shared on Facebook with the caption: “The puppy of the deceased remained in the spot until the body was removed.”

Valdes’ family eventually came to take Doki home, but later reported he stayed up all night mourning his deceased best friend.
