Japanese Dog Refuses to Leave Injured Friend Behind

A very touching video of a dog in Japan that refuse to leave injured friend behind amid the devastation of the Japanese tsunami.


It's reported that the dogs were picked up after the video was filmed, and are in the care of a local shelter. The more seriously injured dog is at a clinic in the city of Mito, while the protective dog is receiving care at a shelter in the same town.

Here is an English translation of the voiceover exchange between the two reporters in the clip (translation courtesy of Toshiyuki Kitamura):

We are in Arahama area. Looks like there is a dog. There is a dog. He looks tired and dirty. He must have been caught in the tsunami. He looks very dirty.

He has a collar. He must be someone's pet. He has a silver collar. He is shaking. He seems very afraid.

Oh, there is another dog. I wonder if he is dead.

Where?

Right there. There is another dog right next to the one sitting down. He is not moving. I wonder. I wonder if he is alright.

The dog is protecting him.

Yes. He is protecting the dog. That is why he did not want us to approach them. He was trying to keep us at bay.

I can't watch this. This is a very difficult to watch.

Oh. Look. He is moving. He is alive. I am so happy to see that he is alive.

Yes! Yes! He is alive.

He looks to be weakened. We need to them to be rescued soon. We really want them rescued soon.

Oh good. He's getting up.

It is amazing how they survived the tremendous earthquake and tsunami. It's just amazing that they survived through this all.

  3. Nice to see the gentle and loyal nature of dogs, particularly in a crisis. They may not be able to talk directly to humans, but their actions speak louder than words.
