A dog living in Lishui, Zhejiang

It touched many people

This dog is a Chinese rural dog.

He looks about seven or eight years old this year.

I have been living with an elderly person in the countryside of Lishui.

  

Around the Spring Festival this year

The owner passed away due to illness.

The old man's son took it to live in the city.

But just a week later

The neighbors discovered that the dog had run back on its own.

Everyone who saw it was amazed.

Keep in mind that his home in the city is more than 40 kilometers away from here!

  

The neighbor said

After the dog came back, it just stood there blankly at the front door.

It seems to be waiting for its owner to return.

But it didn't know

The master will never appear again...

  

Because its owner often took it to play at a certain family's house before its death.

The dog would always walk there and stare blankly.

Even on rainy days

It will just stand there foolishly.

Looking forward to seeing the owner

  

The villagers felt very sorry for it when they saw it like this.

But no matter what

The dog could never get over it.

He insisted on waiting for his owner in the same spot.

  

The dog's story quickly spread throughout the area.

Everyone found it incredible.

A dog that has never left home

He actually ran 40 kilometers on his own.

Just waiting for its owner

  

I once saw a study like this

The study states:

Dogs don't have very good memories.

My memory of some things may be vague.

However, regarding the owner and residence

It has a strong memory of its owner's voice, scent, etc.

So as long as they identify a person

No matter what happens or how long it takes

I will never forget
