EMTs Rush Seizing Man To Hospital, Then Look In Side Mirror And Hearts Melt

dog chases ambulance with owner inside

It’s no secret that dogs and their human best friends form a special bond.

But when a pup and their owner experience hardship together, it’s understandable how that bond can be much, much stronger. If you’re skeptical, just take a look at the below video. It shows how strong of a relationship one man and his dog has. They’ve gone through everything together, and the pup wasn’t about to let his best friend leave his sight – even if that meant chasing after a speeding ambulance.

It must’ve been quite a sight to see: a scrappy little street dog was chasing after an ambulance in the middle of one of the largest cities in Brazil. Speeding past pedestrians and bicyclists and jumping over large cracks in the pavement, he maneuvered between the street and the sidewalk. The determined pooch absolutely would not let the ambulance out of sight.

Why? Because his owner, a homeless man, was inside. He’d just suffered an epileptic seizure, and the driver was en route to the hospital. But then a paramedic noticed the dog in his side mirror.

“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,” he said, “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 crew eventually took pity on the tired pup and, while stopped in traffic, popped open the door so he could jump inside. Once at the hospital, the sweet dog stood a quiet vigil at the man’s bedside.

The paramedic who did the filming that day wasn’t able to find out what happened to the owner, but said the incident “has certainly given me faith in the loyalty and love that exists between owners and their dogs.”
