A Dog Sad Story

 The mourning male dog paws at his tragic partner after she was knocked down by a car in south east China

 A passer-by placed the dog's body by the side of the road, but even that did not deter the loyal canine

 The two dogs were said to be strays and were often seen together

 The male stray dog did not want to be parted from his tragic mate, and appeared determined to stay by her side until the bitter end

Eventually the female dog's remains were cleared away by a Chinese sanitation worker, with the male dog looking on as his partner was finally taken from him
