Loyal dog in Zhangzhou refuses to leave fatally-stricken mate on busy road


A male dog in Zhangzhou, in southern China's Fujian Province, was photographed nuzzling and standing guard over his female companion after she was hit by a car.

Heart-stirring photos out of China show a stray dog braving traffic to stand vigil over a dead female companion, who appears to have been hit by a car.

The brown and white mutt, a stray known to some locals in Zhangzhou, in southern China's Fujian Province, licks his partner's head and nudges her with his nose, as if trying to gently coax her awake.

The loyal pooch reportedly stood watch over his slain friend for more than six hours.

Xiao Wu, a local butcher, said the dog was a stray he had recently started to feed.
