Aaaaww!
An Argentinian dog named Tony who refused to leave his unconscious owner's side, has become an unwitting social media star after pictures of him were shared online.
Jesus Hueche fell six feet from the tree he was pruning outside his home in Bahía Blanca, cracking his head on the pavement below.
Luckily, his neighbours noticed and called an ambulance. But while he waited, Tony never left his side.
Mr Hueche sustained “slight skull trauma”, according to the Defensa Civil - the Argentinian emergency service.
They fitted him with a neck brace, but when they tried to load their patient into an ambulance to take him to the hospital, Tony tried to climb inside with him, the organisation said on its Facebook page.
Eventually they managed to keep Tony clear and transport Mr Hueche to hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and discharged on the same day.
"He goes everywhere with me and lies in my bed until my wife kicks him out," Mr Hueche told Argentinian radio station La Brujula 24.
"One day we saw him on the street and adopted him, gave him love, food and is part of our family. For me he's like a son."

I love stories like this!
I have heard of similar stories where the ambos have just given up and put the dog onboard along with the owner/patient.
Makes a lovely change from the politician stories.

He probably thought his master was just laying down for a nap and thought he would too lol.

A more uplifting story when compared to the creep who stabbed a dog to death in Perth.

These kind of people who kill animals like that, in my opinion, can easily become people killers!

i think if you have it in you to harm/kill a harmless animal your allready a lost cause just waiting for prison for doing something bad to a person you dont like for whatever reason.

Yes, I agree with you David. A person who would harm an animal like that is already incredibly dangerous.
