Loyal dog waits on bridge for days after a loved one leaves

Dogs are the best companions because they are always by our side. They will be with us through all the ups and downs in life. In most cases, this is a valuable quality. However, there are unfortunate circumstances when a dog almost seems too loyal.

This is the case of a heartbroken dog in China who witnessed his loved one jump off a bridge. Instead of letting others help him grieve, he sat there for four days, waiting for his self to return. Poor dog refuses to admit that his loving parents are gone.

Say goodbye

When we lose a loved one, it’s hard to accept that they were really gone at first. The same is true for dogs. They often don’t understand where their humans have gone, so they spend a lot of time waiting for them to return. As for the dog on the bridge, he hopes that his parents will climb up and pet him again.

When staff came to repair the bridge, they found the dog grieving. They weren’t sure how long the dog had been there, so they decided to take a look at it. After further investigation, officials reviewed the footage from the bridge. One night, they saw a man jumping off a bridge with a dog by his side. The recording is a bit blurry, but the jump seems purposeful because the person doesn’t hesitate.

Officials were unable to identify the person in the video, but the dog is hopeful that his loved one is still alive. Since that moment, he has been sitting by the bridge. He didn’t know what else to do without his loving parents by his side. People tried to approach the dog to bring it to safety, but the dog always ran away and returned to the bridge later.

Will he find a new home?

A local resident called Mr. Xu saw the dog on the bridge and wanted to help in any way he could. He brought food and water to the bridge, but the dog refused to accept it. When he called him, the dog did not respond. Mr. Xu wanted to adopt him and cheer him up, but the dog refused to cooperate.

Eventually, Mr. Xu was able to pick up the dog and put it in his car. However, as soon as the car door opened again, the dog jumped out and ran away. Mr. Xu and volunteers from the local animal sanctuary have searched long and hard to find the dog, but it has yet to be identified. Officials encouraged people near the Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, China to keep an eye out for the little dog.

Mr. Xu hopes that the dog will return. He said that even when the little dog ran away, he looked back as if he were rethinking it. It’s not that the dog doesn’t want a loving home, it’s just that he’s scared and confused. Anyone would be as nervous if witnessing a horrifying event like this. Hopefully soon someone will rescue the dog and help the rest of his life be peaceful and happy.
