loyal friend

A homeless man in Brazil was taken by ambulance to the hospital with an infection.  His dog ran alongside the ambulance all the way and remained outside the building waiting for his human friend to return.  Unfortunately the man died from the infection.  Eight months later the dog still stands vigil outside and his ears perk every time it hears the sirens from an ambulance.  Staff at the hospital learned about the dog's story and have been taking care of the pooch.  Twice, a possible furever home was found but the dog kept escaping and coming back to wait at the hospital.  The staff have now gotten the dog neutered and vaccinated.  They feed him and bring him water as well as take their free time to give him lots of love and attention.  The dog will be allowed to remain as long as it wants to be there.  man's best friend
