It’s being called one of the saddest accident scenes Minnesota emergency personnel have ever seen.
When emergency crews arrived to take Bud Kelsey’s body out of his truck after he suffered an apparent heart attack and died behind the wheel last Wednesday, Kelsey’s ten-year old white Shepard Zoey would not let emergency personnel get Kelsey out of the driver’s seat until the victim’s friends stepped in to help.
And even after Kelsey’s body had been taken away, Zoey kept a vigil by the pickup, sitting in the snow.
Kelsey’s daughter, Wendy Holsapple, said her father, who lived in Nevis, Minnesota and turned 78 in December, adopted Zoey when she was around four years old. Holsapple said the two have been constant companions ever since. She also said a friend of Kelsey’s would take the dog home with him.
No one else was involved in the accident.
another one of a million examples of a dog’s loyalty and sense of understanding
and they say dogs are dumb animals ! I think not .
One more example of how dogs are better people than most people are.
I couldn’t stop weeping.Why is it so much more moving when a dog shows such love and loyalty?
I don’t care how many scientists say dogs don’t feel real emotions. They obviously never got close to one.
This is so sad and touching. This dog will forever miss his owner. I pray that his owner’s friend is a good person and will give this older dog the love and care that he deserves. God bless this sweet dog..he was obviously this man’s best friend!!
This is so sad n it breaks my heart, alot of dogs are so loyal and loving and would give there lives for their owners and tragically when their owner passes away the don’t understand that they are not or why they are not coming back.I just read a story of a boy who saved a dog that had been hit by a car and sadly the boy died a few years later and the dog would always run away and sit at the boys grave.
That’s one of the reasons I love dogs!
Beautiful dog, beautiful story. Dogs are so amazing!
If people had the same loyalty that dogs have, what a great world this would be!
