Dog drags his wounded friend off the highway
Just seen it on the Russian news and thought I'd share it.
A dog in South America dodges cars while trying to help his wounded pal by dragging him to the side. Self preservation instinct be damned.



Unfortunately, his efforts were fruitless, as his companion was later found dead from sustained injuries.

Apparently the authorities there want to do that, but so far couldn't find the dog.
Wow. How increadibly, almost disgustingly touching

I think I have read before that animals actually arent "supposed" to do that. They typically dont risk their own lives for anything...pretty damn good find Odlov.

Hehe thanks.

Yeah, i always knew animals were capable of things like that.

Otherwise why are there so many cases of dolphins saving drowning humans?
To the dolphin's well-being, does it make a difference if some joe drowns? Nope.
That must mean they are motivated by compassion.
Of course, dolphins and dogs are some of the more intelligent animals.

Remember, animals will do anything for food. It really is a dog-eat-dog world if you're hungry.

Thing is, the dog may have gone out there in search of food, found this dog, and was like "fuck this shit smells good, let's move it so I can eat it in private".
Are you guys serious?

Canines and most other mammals don't eat their own dead.
Maybe of utter desperation, but even that I've never heard before.
Are you trolling?

What's so hard about the concept of a dog trying to save it's mate/friend?
It's highly unlikely he did it for food, since dogs as I've said before never eat their dead. Not wolves, not coyotes, not hyenas. I'm not an expert, but still i would have probably heard about it otherwise.

No, they rape and beat up porpoises.

Also, dolphins HAVE been known to try to rape people though. just saying.


Also, dogs starve to death before they eat their own dead

Any sources for this?

PS: lol I'm so used to debate forum now....x_x

Exactly. I just did a mini research trying to find any account of any canine eating their own dead - and nothing.

This means that dog did, in fact, try to save the other out of compassion.
