A loyal dog watched over his dead
four-legged friend overnight in sub-zero temperatures after the other
dog was run over by a car.
The small white dog was killed in the middle of a busy street in the city of Yinchuan in north west China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, when he was hit by an unknown car.
Despite
temperatures dropping to a chilly -13C another sandy-coloured dog
stayed by the animal's side overnight, guarding the body as it lay in
the road.
