A dog that refused to leave its deceased companion moves animal rights advocates in Havana.

The story of a dog that refused to leave its deceased companion in Havana has moved animal protectors, who are now dedicated to finding the dog's owner.

Lizzy's Pet Rescue shared on Sunday in the Facebook group "Animal Protection Society in Cuba" the touching story of a dog that refused to leave its deceased companion.

"Today at noon we rescued this little dog under heavy rain, who was guarding his deceased companion. Both were cared for and without ticks, so I presume they are from a home," noted the activist, who indicated that the dog was rescued at 29A and 70, Buenavista, Playa.

Black, as he nicknamed the dog, didn't leave the side of the deceased puppy. “We had to drive him away from her with a push to be able to take the body and remove it from the street,” he noted.

The touching story has led the protector to seek the person responsible for the dog: “If the owner sees this post, message me at 54836238,” she commented.

In the comments section, many people agreed on pointing out the loyalty of dogs and the need to find the owners of the dog.

This Monday, animal protectors asked for help for a cat that is missing part of its face and was seen on a street in Havana.

Dianeya Pérez reported in the Facebook group "Sociedad Protectora de Animales en Cuba" that the feline was located in Lawton, "on Gertrudis street between Segunda and Primera."

Recently, a puppy was abandoned on a corner in the Playa municipality of Havana with a sign asking for help with its care.

A Facebook post indicates that the puppy was found at the corner of 5ta B and 116, with a sign stating that the animal has diarrhea and cannot drink milk.
