A man was walking with his dog in Goiana, Brazil, when he suffered an epileptic seizure and lost consciousness. Paramedics were called to the scene, but when they took the man away in the ambulance, his dog was left behind. The emergency responders had no idea the dog belonged to the man they were helping, but once they spotted him chasing after the ambulance for several blocks, they realized the dog belonged to the patient. They stopped and opened the door to let the dog in and he climbed aboard and sat quietly next to his owner, who was slipping in and out of consciousness. Paramedic Celiomar Ferreira do Couto said he and his crew were touched by the love and loyalty shown by the dog for his owner. Couto said, “*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 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.*”
