Loyal dog chased after ambulance taking homeless owner to hospital

A dedicated dog chased an ambulance carrying its owner after the man suffered an epileptic fit earlier this year in Taguatinga, Brazil.



The dog stood by its homeless owner when he suddenly collapsed until paramedics arrived at the scene. As they sped to a nearby hospital with the man, they spotted the dog in the rear-view mirror sprinting after the emergency vehicle.





One of the paramedics filmed it easily keeping pace. With the determined dog hot on their tail and a long journey ahead, the crew pulled over and welcomed it inside.

At the hospital, the faithful companion later stood beside its owner's stretcher where it reportedly remained for the length of the man's stay, which occurred in March this year.

I'm glad that they had enough compassion to let the dog into the vehicle.
