According to SkyNews , the dead pup was finally removed from the busy street. “Eventually, the deceased white dog was picked up by a restaurant owner and taken to the side of the road. But even then, the sandy dog refused to let go.

The Inquisitr has previously reported on heartwarming and heartwrenching incidents of both extreme loyalty and bravery on the part of man’s best friend. For example, in Italy, Ciccio, a 12-year-old German shepherd, apparently has attended church every single day since his owner died. Ciccio used to accompany his owner to Santa Maria Assunta church in San Donaci, Italy, every afternoon when she was still alive, and has been keeping up the habit long after she has passed. In Argentina, another German shepherd named Captain refused to leave his deceased owner’s grave over a six-year period. In a more recent incident, two inseparable Lab-pit bull mixes were found wandering the Philadelphia streets, one of whom is blind and is guided by the other.
