This is the heartbreaking moment a loyal dog paws at its dead friend’s body before whimpering after the other pooch was hit by a car.
The incident took place in the city of Huancayo, in the central Peruvian region of Junin, and was shared by a Facebook user on the page of the animal association Sueno Compartido (Shared Dream).
In the video, a dog can be seen pawing at another pooch lying motionless on the pavement which had reportedly been hit by a car. The worried animal continues trying to wake up its friend as a woman can be heard saying “poor little dog”.
The video was shared with the message “It’s useless wanting to do something against the death that is there, not knowing how to comfort its mate that is crying about it (the dead dog), that is trying to reanimate it and with barks and tears it must be looking for help too. There is a lot to learn about those angels who are victims of human cruelty.
“I hope someday we will be real thinking beings and we take on the responsibility of having those little angels. I’m very sad about this miserable reality”.
The association said that the dogs were found on Mariategui and Huancavelica Avenue on the same day three stray dogs were run over.
Netizen ‘Tefy Chava’ wrote: “How miserable human beings are because there is so much evil with those little angels, we do not have a conscience”.
‘Mili Hurtado’ commented: “Sad this is a reality of every single day, caused by abandonment. I won’t keep saying again and again that people who are not sensitive to dogs are repugnant”.
‘Kelly Camayo Curisinche’ added: “It breaks my heart, damn.”
It is unclear what happened to the dogs after the video.
