Four Stray Dogs Loyally Gather Around Their Friend After He is Hit by Car

A sad but touching video has emerged of four stray dogs refusing to get out of the middle of the road after one of their friends was hit by a car. The five dogs were attempting to cross a busy road in Lanzhou, in Gansu province, in Central Chin when one was struck and killed.

The heartbreaking moment was captured by onlookers and later posted to social media sites.

Warning: video contains imagery that may be disturbing to some viewers.

Rather than abandon their friend, the four dogs ran back and attempted to nuzzle their friend to get him to wake up, but to no avail. The short clip has gone viral with many commenting the strong bond between the canine friends.

Many people were upset that the driver had not stopped to help the dog. Others noted how caring his friends were.

One Weibo user wrote: “If only humans could be more like these dogs.”

It is reported that the dogs only left the road when a passerby moved the deceased dog’s body to the side of the road.
