Dog's Unwavering Loyalty Through Grief
21 Jan
Summary
- Pet dog stayed by deceased owner's body overnight.
- Dog followed funeral procession for four kilometers.
- Animal's devotion deeply moved villagers and police.
In Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, a pet dog displayed extraordinary devotion following the death of its owner, Jagdish Prajapati. The 40-year-old was found deceased in his home on a Monday. His loyal dog remained beside the body throughout the night, offering a silent, constant presence.
The following day, as Prajapati's body was taken for a post-mortem examination in Karera, the dog followed the tractor-trolley for approximately four kilometers. Villagers observed the dog's struggle to keep pace, reluctant to be separated from its human companion.
At the post-mortem house, the dog waited patiently. It then accompanied the body back to the village and remained by the pyre during the cremation. The dog refused food and water, and attempts to move it were unsuccessful. This profound display of loyalty resonated deeply, with police officials capturing the event in a viral video.
