Tsunami victims: Dog stands watch over injured companion

I read this story on Omidog. There’s a video of an anxious dog who leads reporters to another injured dog. At first the reporters think he’s dead then he lifts his head. This takes place in the midst of ruined buildings and debris. The dogs have reportedly been rescued.

Badly injured cocker found

Location: Doddenham, UK

A badly injured cocker spaniel was found 4 days later after being hit by a car.  The cocker named Puppy Joe ran off during his walk. His family couldn’t find him but heard a dog had been hit by a car.  Hunters 4 days later discovered Puppy Joe cold and wet huddled under a tree. Puppy Joe was treated for a fractured pelvis and is recovering well.

Reported by The Worcester News, Story has Puppy Joe’s picture. Link to Story
