Till death do us part

This one totally made us go awwwwwwww. A dog in Changsha, Hunan province, stays by the dead carcass of his good friend, which has just been knocked down by a car. As if unwilling to believe that his companion had died, he tries to wake her up with his paws, and when he realises that he is unable to awake her, he sits quietly by her side, unfazed by all the passing traffic.

Making it to the front page of Youku, the clip has been viewed 1.3 million times and garnered close to 10,000 comments in less than a day. Another clip uploaded by another eyewitness shows a huge crowd gathering to behold this most loyal companion.

He really loved his bitch! Let that be an inspiration to all of us!

By the way I had no way of telling the dead dog was a bitch. Just thought it'd make for better wording.

Yeah, that one's a tearjerker, and is one of the vids featured in the Youku Buzz newsletter going out tomorrow. How did you get Changsha, Hunan? The license plates say 豫 which suggests it's somewhere in Henan, yes?

The only thing that bothers me is that everyone was more concerned about taking photos than moving the surviving dog and its companion to safety.

@kaiserkuo: Yes, I went digging through the comments and someone mentioned 豫N = Shangqiu 商丘. Exchange between video owner and commenters shows its Changsha Hunan. Can Youku staff verify just to be sure?

@gswafford: Yes the eyewitness says people tried to help the dogs, but the living one would not let ANYONE get near them.

Cannot hold back tears.
Damn commie officials' Audi.
