Dog waits for owners return at spot where he committed suicide 4 days ago in China

A loyal dog in China has waited on a bridge for four days after watching its owner committing suicide.

According to local reports, the dog was sitting on the pavement of Yangtze Bridge in Wuhan, where its owner reportedly took their life.

The photos were initially taken by a resident, known by his surname Xu, after he saw the pet dog waiting on the bridge for four days.

Mr Xu, who intended to adopt the dog, tried to pick up the pet canine on Friday. But the animal ran away.

Du Fan, director of Wuhan Small Animal Protection Association started tracing the dog with the help of local volunteer after Mr Xu claimed that it ran.

Witnesses in the area told Mr Du Fan that the dog followed his owner in the evening of May 30 and refused to move after his owner died. But when people approached to help, it ran away in fear.

Mr Du said that his volunteers are now trying to track down the faithful animal's whereabouts. He also pledged anyone to come forward if they had seen the animal.
