- A pit bull stayed by its dead owner's side for four days in Himachal Pradesh
- The man died from exposure to extreme cold and heavy snowfall in Bharmour
- The dog neither ate nor moved, protecting the body from weather and wild animals
A heartwrenching story has emerged from Bharmour in Himachal Pradesh's Chamba district, showcasing the unwavering loyalty of a dog. In conditions so harsh that even stepping out of the house becomes difficult for humans, a faithful pit bull refused to leave the side of its dead owner for four days, despite heavy snowfall and biting cold.
Notably, two young relatives identified as Bikshit Rana and Piyush went missing near the Bharmani temple in Bharmour while filming videos. They were later found to have died after getting trapped in snow amid harsh weather conditions. When rescue teams and local villagers finally reached the spot four days later, the scene they witnessed left everyone emotional. Piyush's body lay buried under layers of snow, but right beside him sat his pet dog.
For four days, the voiceless companion neither ate food nor moved from that place. Battling freezing winds and snowstorms, the dog stood guard, protecting its owner's body not only from the brutal weather but also from wild animals that roam the region.
When the rescue team attempted to retrieve the body, the dog initially became aggressive. It seemed to believe that the strangers were there to harm its owner. After considerable effort, gentle coaxing, and reassurance, the dog finally realised that they had come to help. Only then did it step aside, allowing the team to carry out their duty.
This poignant story has left many with tears in their eyes, serving as a powerful reminder that animals can show loyalty and love that transcends even death.
