Dogs exemplify the epitome of love and loyalty. Their ability to form genuine bonds with other animals is awe-inspiring, and they prove their unwavering support during difficult times.

Recently, a heartwarming incident unfolded, demonstrating the true essence of love and friendship. A destitute dog showcased extraordinary devotion by steadfastly refusing to abandon her injured best friend after a tragic car accident.

According to Stray Rescue of St. Louis, the unfortunate incident occurred on Highway 70, where the stray dog was tragically hit by a vehicle. When a rescue employee arrived at the scene, they witnessed a crowd gathered around the injured dog. However, the most touching sight was that of the injured dog's loyal companion, another stray, who remained by his side throughout, showing genuine concern and care.

In this tale of compassion and solidarity, the boundless love between these two incredible animals serves as a heartwarming reminder of the profound connections that can form even in the most challenging circumstances. ❤️🐾

The worried dog continued to stand guard, as rescuers reassured her that they were there to help her friend. The shelter named the injured dog “Soul” and his friend “Heart.”

As they rushed Soul to the trauma center, they took Heart along as well. Throughout it all, it was clear Heart was very worried for her friend.

Sadly, Soul was too badly hurt in the accident. He suffered a broken back, and the rescue said there was no way to fix it.

“At Stray Rescue, we will do what it takes to save a life, but if there is no chance at quality of life, the kindest thing is to say goodbye,” Natalie Thomson from Stray Rescue told Newsweek.

All the rescue could do was relieve Soul’s pain in his final moments — and give his loyal best friend a chance to say goodbye.

Soul passed away, but Heart still wouldn’t leave his side.

“She wanted to be with him, so we gave her time to say goodbye. We kept her with us the entire time, hoping she would understand what was happening,” Thomson said.

A beautiful, heartbreaking photo shows the moment Heart fell asleep on Soul, loyal til the end as she grieves for her friend. “We’re all grieving with her,” Stray Rescue wrote.

Everyone was incredibly moved by Heart’s loyalty and love, and they are now working on a special way to let Heart remember her friend forever.

They wrote on social media that they are getting a pendant for her collar that will hold some of Soul’s ashes, “so she can always carry him with her.”

Neither of the dogs had collars or microchips, and are assumed to be strays. It’s not clear how long they had been on the streets together, but Heart was noticeably dirty.

But the rescue gave her a much-needed bath, and are committed to giving this heartbroken dog all the love and care she needs going forward: “Time to start healing, baby girl.”

Rest in peace, Soul, we know you’re in a better place without pain  It’s clear you had a loving and loyal friend in Heart.

Our hearts are with this sweet dog as she continues to grieve, and we hope she has a bright future ahead.

Please share this sweet story as a reminder of how sweet dogs can be.
