Grieving Dog Refuses to Leave His Sister's Body

Grieving Dog Refuses to Leave His Sister's Body

KINGSVILLE, TEXAS — A dog named Guardian was found abandoned on the side of a road refusing to leave his sister's body when rescuers arrived to bring them to a shelter and provide aid.

According to a Facebook post by Kingsville Kleberg Health Department Animal Control & Care Center, the animal control officers received a call last Friday morning about a deceased dog near a rural highway.

When they arrived on the scene, responders encountered what they described as a 'heart-wrenching sight.'

The body of the deceased dog was being protected by another dog, a grieving Catahoula mix that has now been given the fitting name, 'Guardian' by staff at the shelter.

In the post from Friday, the animal center said, 'This boy wasn't going to let anyone mess with his sister.

Our animal control officers had a hard time convincing him everything was going to be alright, and they were there to help him.'

But it's good news for Guardian!

The center said, 'He's still a little confused about what happened, but at least he is now in a safe place with fresh cool water and belly full of food.'

And in an update post from the center, they say they now already have an adoption scheduled at 8:00 am on the day he becomes available, this week on May 29th.
