Chilean Dog is International Hero


We don’t see much news out of Chile on US news channels. However, this piece of video has shown up all over the place.

This video shows a dog hit by a car that is then rescued by another dog:

During my time in Chile, stray dogs were everywhere. They’d roam around in large packs around some places I’d live. So it is no surprise to see a dog on a major road like that shown in the video.

What is surprising is to see the dog get rescued by another.

    According to news articles I read, the injured dog died and the hero dog couldn’t be found. Since the event actually took place in March, officials have given up looking for the dog.
