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.
