There’s never a bad word said about a dog, is there? And this pet pooch is no different, as it sᴛᴜᴄᴋ by its owner’s side when he ᴄᴏʟʟᴀᴘsᴇᴅ in the street and fʀᴀɴᴛɪᴄally rallied around – even helping to push the stretcher out of the ambulance. Tony even wanted to jump into the ambulance but was later reunited with his owner.

Meet Tony, the loyal doggie who didn’t ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇ his owner’s side after the man ɪɴjᴜʀᴇᴅ himself fᴀʟʟɪɴɢ 6 feet ᴅᴏᴡɴ on the concrete sidewalk when pruning a tree outside his home on Saturday. The owner, whose name is Jesus Hueche, ʜɪᴛ his head and ʟᴏsᴛ consciousness – but the puppy was there by his side up until the ambulance arrived.

All while doctors were putting a neck brace on Hueche, the doggie was still hugging his owner as if telling him to stay strong and hold on. Eventually, the man did recover his aᴡᴀʀeness, and then the canine gave him a few pats of encouragement so that the man felt safe and taken care of.

The doggie even tried to climb into the ambulance to go with his owner. Luckily, Hutches ɪɴjᴜʀy wasn’t so ʙᴀᴅ, and the man was soon reunited with his loyal dog.

• His ower, who is recovering well, says: “One day we saw him on the street and adopted him, gave him love, food and is part of our family. For me, he’s like a son.” Clearly, the love is mutual. “
