Owner Jumped Of The Bridge Ending His Life, Leaving Loyal Dog Behind in Solitude
In a heart-wrenching incident, an owner tragically ended his life by jumping off the Yangtze Bridge in Wuhan, China, leaving his loyal dog behind in solitude. The touching photographs of the devoted canine, captured by a local named Xu, have moved thousands of people who saw them online.
According to a translation by Chutian Metropolis News, the images show the dog sitting on the pavement of the bridge, a witness to the fateful event. Mr. Xu, deeply touched by the dog’s plight, attempted to rescue the grieving animal. However, when he approached the dog on Friday, it was too overwhelmed with fear to come near him and promptly fled.
Upon learning about the dog’s escape, Du Fan, the director of the Wuhan Small Animal Protection Association, mobilized volunteers to find and help the distressed pup. Their search began in the hopes of providing the dog with a new, loving home. The details surrounding the incident were shrouded in mystery, as the surveillance footage from the bridge failed to shed light on what had happened. Du Fan shared, “On the evening of May 30, the dog accompanied its owner to the Yangtze Bridge. We requested that the bridge officers investigate what had occurred. It was quite dark… The surveillance film didn’t reveal anything… We noticed the individual immediately leap.”
The unwavering loyalty and devotion displayed by this dog have touched the hearts of many. Stories like these remind us of the incredible bond between humans and their furry companions. It is hoped that the dedicated efforts of the volunteers will lead to the dog’s rescue and ultimately provide him with a new loving home, where he can heal from this tragic loss.
This heartrending tale also brings to mind another poignant incident, where another dog faithfully waited at Wuhan Taikang Hospital for over three months, yearning for the return of his owner. Sadly, the elderly owner succumbed to Covid-19 after just five days. Unaware of the heartbreaking reality, the seven-year-old dog would eagerly appear in the hospital lobby each day, desperately searching for his beloved human. Compassionate individuals who witnessed the dog’s emotional distress provided him with nourishment and care until a local animal shelter intervened to assist.
These stories remind us of the remarkable loyalty, love, and resilience that our four-legged friends possess. They serve as powerful reminders to cherish and protect the bonds we share with our beloved pets, offering them the care and affection they so wholeheartedly give us in return.
