A faithful dog was caught on tape chasing after an ambulance taking his sick human to hospital along the road Goiana, Brazil.

After the dog’s homeless owner suffered a seizure, the dog was in no way willing to leave him alone in his time of need. The loyal doggie followed the ambulance until the crew pulled over and let him on board.

Paramedic Celiomar Ferreira do Couto, who made the video, said the entire crew was deeply moved by the love and loyalty the poor pooch displayed for his owner.

“I’ve been doing this job for 19 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. Sometimes we arrive at the scene of an emergency and there are pets around but they are too shy for us to get close to and they often run way. I have never seen this reaction in all my career.”
