A loyal dog stayed by its owner for up to 12 hours after he was killed in a hit-and-run accident. The man was struck by a car during the night on Highway 1 in Santa Cruz, California. He was fatally struck while riding his bicycle and his body was left lying by the roadside until the next morning.
A passer-by spotted the man's contorted bike in a slightly lowered area by the side of the road, along with his lifeless body and the uninjured dog. A crate which the man had fixed to the bike for carrying his mutt lay strewn on the ground.
His body had been there anywhere between eight and 12 hours, and his heartbroken pooch, a Cairn terrier mix similar to Toto in The Wizard of Oz, had stayed by his side the entire time.
