Faithful pet dog waits for dead owner outside mortuary in Kerala for 4 months

It is rightly said dogs are the most loyal beings in the world. They are naturally loving and affectionate. Once they start loving a person, they do not leave their side no matter what.

A glaring example of this is a pet dog that has been waiting outside a mortuary for its dead owner for the last several months. The faithful dog has stationed himself near the hospital's mortuary door even as its owner has died and been taken to the mortuary.

The heart-warming incident has been reported from a hospital in Kerala’s Kannur.
