After the earthquake, this dog was rescued and refused to leave the ruins for a moment. It stayed there, because this was its home and its owner was still inside.
It spends its days carrying food into the rubble, because it doesn't want its owner to go hungry!
A rescuer once said something quite insightful: "If there's a pet dog that won't move near the rubble, it means the owner is definitely buried underneath. If you ignore it, it will bark incessantly; while digging to rescue someone, it will stare intently; and once the owner's body is exposed, the dog will rush forward and dig at the ground until its feet bleed..."

A man was walking a large Golden Retriever in the neighborhood. Some people were curious and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you carrying it? How can you carry it? Let it walk by itself."
The man turned around and explained earnestly, "It's 17 years old and can't walk anymore, so I carried it out to let it see the outside world, and it was happy!"
Why do some people like dogs so much?
Because dogs will never despise their owners. Even if you give them half a steamed bun, they will stay with you as strays for a lifetime, and may even give their lives for you.
It's as if they were born to show us what true love is.
You can't have only one dog in your life, but you are its whole life. So please treat your dog well; either don't get a dog at all, or keep it for life and never abandon it.
