I guess the truth is harder to take than the happy fiction. The dog hit was definately killed - you can see a very quick clip of the road worker person carrying the dead dog away by it's tail, the live dog following for a bit looking up at the dead dog, then wandering away (they only collected the dead dog, allowed the live dog to continue on in traffic?) - anyway sad about the dog, but very interesting to see the reasoning behavior of the other dog, for certain.
My very good friend found a GSD (now Wiley) on the Dan Ryan Expressway, sitting next to a dead Bulldog, absolutely refusing to leave it behind. He had to actually pick the dog up and carry him into his truck, and he needed help to do it b/c the dog was fighting. Not aggressive to Greg-just didn't want to leave the Bulldog. My guess is they were both dumped there and the Bulldog wasn't quite as smart and/or quick in figuring out traffic. The dog was on the side of the road, appearing to have been dragged, but we don't know who dragged him-the person who hit him, or Wiley.
My friend died 2 years ago Thanksgiving, and honestly, Wiley hasn't been the same since. I don't expect him to live much longer, actually. He is a sensitive, caring dog, and I can't believe he's the only one like that.
Wow, that's amazing! Sad but amazing! I've heard stories like this before. Two dogs grow up together/ pack mates and one gets injured. The other will do ANYTHING to help it, and won't leave its side, even after it is dead. I also heard a story nearby me where a man "killed himself" (I don't beleive this was suicide) in the plains and his GSD didn't leave his side protecting his body from coyotes. I believe dogs understand death and mourn it in their own way. I see that dog seeing its friend in danger and trying to help it.
It's a testament to dogs and their loyalty, and makes me happy to own one
