Grieving pit bull stays with dead mate for 14 HOURS... and four days later, he's still so sad he can't be adopted
The sad sight of a male pit bull mourning by the side of his dead partner has moved many to tears after it was posted to
Facebook.
On Friday, the female pit bull was killed by a car on South 16th Street in Phoenix, but her partner refused to abandon her.
The male dog stayed by her side for more than 14 hours before Animal Control removed her body and now, they say, he
is still so depressed he may not be able to find a home to adopt him.
Animal Control told My Fox Phoenix that it was the Sanitation Department that stalled in picking up the dogs, but that now,
the male is recovering slowly.
Mr Silva thinks that the dogs may have an owner because the male had a harness on him when he was found.
However, that person has not emerged to claim him. Without an owner, the male pit bull's future is uncertain.
