Los Angeles county animal control officials are heralding the loyalty of a black Labrador retriever that braved traffic to stay by another dog that was fatally struck by a car.
A motorist who saw the dogs on a La Puente street Wednesday morning put down traffic cones to alert other drivers and shot video of the dogs. The video released Saturday showed the female Labrador lying next to a motionless, yellow Labrador as vehicles pass dangerously close to them.
The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control says the 2-year-old dog, who animal shelter staff and volunteers have named Grace, appears to have been well cared for.
However, nobody has come forward to claim her so she is up for adoption.

I've seen the same behavior from a bird, and a squirrel. Both of which are better than dogs :^D

Cats usually don't prowl together or hunt in packs. Only reason you don't see cats doing this.

Oh christ. 2 posts in, and there's already a dog vs. cat argument going on. Good job.

Sad story, OP.

Yea, disregarding the best animal pissing match, it's a sad story. People treat animals like mindless automatons, but they have feelings, likes, and dislikes just like humans. Animals are too often disregarded in people's rush to get somewhere, and do something that's ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Seemed like a repost. Guess it not uncommon for dogs.

Very sad but not surprising. Dogs are pack animals. They do get upset when another dog dies. Quick bit of trivia, elephants do the same thing, and will in fact hold "funerals" and bury their dead.

And they go back and visit the site and display a lot of the same emotions as humans do confronting death.

He's just waiting for everyone to stop watching so he can eat his buddy.

there was a similar story after the tsunami in Japan, only the other dog was injured and not dead. That was moving in light of all the tragedy there.
