According to Daily Star, the heartbreaking incident happened in the city of Kars, northeastern Turkey on February 25. The shared images show the mother dog sitting silently next to her puppy lying motionless on the side of the road, her face sad.
Perhaps not believing that her child had left her, the mother dog sometimes nudged her puppy with her foot as if to wake it up, and sometimes bent down as if to give it a gentle kiss so that the little one could feel her love.
Despite all efforts, the puppy showed no signs of waking up. The mother dog was not discouraged, looking around as if asking for help from passersby, while trying to protect her baby’s body. Many passersby stopped to pet the poor mother dog as if to comfort her. Everyone felt sorry for her as they were unable to revive the puppy.
Witnesses said the puppy was hit and killed by a car while it was running across the street with its mother. It is unclear whether the driver caused the accident or a kind passerby helped the mother dog carry the puppy’s body to the side of the road. The mother dog then sat with the puppy for several hours, refusing to leave.
Upon receiving the news of the incident, the city council staff arrived at the scene and took the puppy’s body away. The mother dog also quickly left the area. Since the accident that happened to the puppy, no one has seen the mother dog again, nor does anyone know where she went. Local authorities are said to have no intention of continuing the investigation.
Dogs are very loyal and affectionate animals, not only to their own kind but also to humans. A few days ago, the Chinese online community was stirred up by a video recording the scene of an old dog reluctantly saying goodbye to its owner to find a resting place.
The video was recorded in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, China in early February 2021. The owner and the dog had been together for the past 16 years. When the dog knew it was about to die, it decided to leave its owner to avoid the owner being saddened by its death.
According to the video, the old dog walked up a slope, in the distance was a man in a blue shirt, who seemed to be his owner. After walking a few steps, the dog turned back to look at the man. However, as soon as he saw the man intending to come closer, the dog tried to stand up and continue walking as if to stop him from getting closer. Knowing that he could not hold on to the dog, the owner stood still in place, saying goodbye to his “four-legged friend”.
