I can only hope there'd be a lot more activity around the man if he was in crisis.

4. Full video

From the description:

Said EMT Celiomar Ferreira do Couto, who took the footage of the dog desperately chasing the ambulance, “I’ve been doing this job for 19 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it. Sometimes we arrive at the scene of an emergency and there are pets around but they are too shy for us to get close to and they often run way. I have never seen this reaction in all my career.”

The video concludes with the dog standing guard next to his owner on a stretcher in the hospital as the man waits to be treated. “The pooch and its owner may be homeless, but at least they have each other,” Elite Daily noted.

Added paramedic do Couto: “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find out what happened to the pet and its owner, but it has certainly given me faith in the loyalty and love that exists between owners and their dogs.”

5. Thanks!

This latest incident involving man’s best friend occurred in Goiana, Brazil, when a homeless man who owned the dog was rushed to the hospital after suffering a seizure.

Wow. Looks like he was waiting in triage. I hope they both came oiut of this all right.
