If there are still any doubts regarding dogs’ loyalty, this remarkable story proves, once again what these creatures are capable of. The heartwarming story of a faithful dog who saved the life of his friend as she lay too ɪɴᴊᴜʀᴇᴅ to move on train tracks.
A group of volunteers from an animal rescue in Uzhgorod, Ukraine have witnessed some touching scenes. For at least a few days, a loyal dog kept guarding and caring for his furry fellow. The pair were discovered by Denis Malafeyev, who shared a spine-tingling video of the dogs ᴅᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ as a train sped over their heads. Mr. Malafeyev said it was unclear how Lucy was ɪɴᴊᴜʀᴇᴅ and she may have been h.i.t by a train crossing the track.
He said: “It’s such a touching story. I got a phone call from a friend who said that there were two dogs lying on the railway track near Tseglovka village for two days.”
Unable to move, the poor doggie’s fate seemed to be sealed, but her loyal friend never left her side. Lucy was ɪɴᴊᴜʀᴇᴅ to move from the tracks in Ukraine, but Panda kept her alive by curling up next to her and pushing her head down when trains zoomed over. He proved brave enough to protect her.
The heartwarming story was shared on Fᴀᴄᴇ.ʙᴏᴏᴋ by Denis Malafeyev, one of the rescue team.
“When we arrived, it turned out that one of the dogs, the female, was ɪɴᴊᴜʀᴇᴅ and couldn’t move,” Denis wrote in an Fᴀᴄᴇ.ʙᴏᴏᴋ post. “The male dog heard the sound of the approaching train, came close to the female dog and laid down next to her… Both of them pushed their heads toward the ground, and let the train pass.
“The male dog was doing this for two days in a row. Think about it. He was keeping her warm,” the rescuer said.
Thankfully both dogs have been rescued and then taken to a local shelter where they received medical care. After Lucy got better, they both reunited with the owner!
