A dog from the Chinese city of Wuhan has been waiting at a local hospital since February for its owner, who died there as a result of an emerging coronavirus.
The American newspaper The New York Times reported that the dog arrived at the hospital with its owner, who died 5 days after starting treatment for the Coronavirus virus. She said that the dog now lives in the hospital lobby and searches for the late owner. As for hospital personnel, they feed him for 3 months in appreciation of his loyalty.
A store owner in Wuhan, or Kwai Fen, said that the dog owner had suffered from pneumonia and had been hospitalized with the Coronavirus. She added that she tried to take the dog from the hospital to care for him, but that all her efforts were unsuccessful.
She became her sponsor on April 14, when he resumed work in the city's stores and gave the dog the nickname "Sia Bao", which means in Chinese the "little treasure".
She said that the dog never leaves the hospital and amazed his loyalty to its owner.
The dog receives her every morning and visits her at the end of the day. But he does not leave the hospital where he lost his owner. The woman tried to move him to a place far from the hospital, but he returned every time to his place, where he was waiting impatiently for the owner.
