Video: Loyal dog refuses to leave injured friend at Japan quake site

JAPAN - A touching example of loyalty was discovered in the quake aftermath.

Two reporters discovered a dishevelled-looking dog in Arahama, Sendai.

They saw the dog sit next to the body of another dog, keeping watch over it.

Here is a translation of the exchange between the two reporters in the video:

"We are in Arahama area. Looks like there is a dog. There is a dog. He looks tired and dirty. He must have been caught in the tsunami. He looks very dirty.

"He has a collar. He must be someone's pet. He has a silver collar. He is shaking. He seems very afraid.

"Oh, there is another dog. I wonder if he is dead.

"Where?

"Right there. There is another dog right next to the one sitting down. He is not moving. I wonder. I wonder if he is alright.

"The dog is protecting him.

"Yes. He is protecting the dog. That is why he did not want us to approach them. He was trying to keep us at bay.

"I can't watch this. This is a very difficult to watch.

"Oh. Look. He is moving. He is alive. I am so happy to see that he is alive.

"Yes! Yes! He is alive.

"We need them to be rescued soon.

"Oh good. He's getting up.

"It is amazing how they survived the tremendous earthquake and tsunami. It's just amazing that they survived through this all."
