Question

   Even in the animal kingdom,the loss of a loved one is quite a sad thing,and this upset dog in the picture,near a village in Russia's Perm area,gives us a real model in our life.

   His mate (配偶) was hit to die by a car while she was trying to cross the road over seven days ago,but now he's still standing guard (站岗) over her body,hoping she will wake up one day. People who passed by the dog said the dog dragged his mate from the road right after she was hit and hadn’t left her side since then. He kept trying to move her with his paws and keep her warm with his own body,and the local people knew the story of his loyalty (忠诚) just in a few days. When children and adults passed the dog and heard his heartbreaking (令人心碎的) cry,and saw him standing guard over her body they often broke into tears. “It's very sad. He won’t let anyone walk near to her and he keeps trying to warm her up with his own body”，a local farmer said.
