Hero and Protector Dog looks after wounded canine buddy after Japan Tsunami

Here’s another heartwarming story amidst the disaster in Japan. There have been a stories of people found in the rubble days after the earthquake including an 80 year old woman and a 4 month old bay girl.

Now comes this story of a loyal dog standing guard and finding help for his doggie friend.

I love it!

Daily Mail reports this loyal spaniel saved the life of his injured friend who was barely moving by sticking by his side following the tsunami - and leading a group of rescuers to him.

In heartwarming footage, the brown and white dog leads reporters to the injured mud-splattered animal who is lying flat out among the wreckage.


The dog had seemingly stuck by the side of the wounded animal in Arahama, Sendai, for days following the earthquake and tsunami.

TV crews who were filming in the area initially thought the spaniel was guarding a dead dog, before they excitedly realised the injured animal was alive and being protected.

The dog was later rushed to the vets in Mito, while the loyal dog was taken to a nearby shelter.

The crews thought the white dog was dead but shout excitedly 'Yes! Yes! He is alive' as they spot his head moving.
