A faithful dog refused to leave his dead friend alone in the cold, even after temperatures plummeted to -13 degrees.  The touching footage of the dog who stayed with his pal until the bitter end has come out of China and people around the world have praised the pup’s loyalty and devotion.

The pooch was filmed in the middle of a busy road, guarding the body of his dead friend.  He curled up next to him and showed no intention of abandoning him.

People who live and work nearby felt sorry for the dog and put a stool next to the poor animals in order to prevent another accident.

Finally, workers from a local restaurant moved the body and buried it under a tree in a park in the vicinity.  The incredibly loyal dog followed them and watched as they buried his pal.
