Heartbreaking: The male dog
tries to nudge his mate awake after she was hit by a car
|
A
stray dog stands guard over the body of his dead mate and in a moving display
of devotion continues to lick her head in a bid to revive her.
These
heartbreaking pictures taken in Zhangzhou, in China's Fujian Province, show the
animal carefully nudging the female dog after she was hit and killed by a
car.
After
he fails to wake her, the male refuses to leave and stays within feet of his
mate for six hours.
Vigil: The dog refused to
move from her side despite the female lying in the middle of the busy road
|
When
he got tired the dog lay down next to her as he kept up his vigil for hours.
Moving: The male tries
licking the top of her head as he tries to revive her
|
Xiao said after the accident he saw the
male dog running around and trying to 'hug'
the female dog with his forelegs.
Mourning: Witnesses said he
only left her side to move out of the way of oncoming traffic
|
Bereaved: The dog was tired
he would simply lie down but would not leave her side
|
Tragic: The male dog
continues to cuddle the dead female even when her body has apparently been
moved to the side of the road
