Loyal Dog Still Waiting Outside Mexican Coal Mine Where Its Beloved Owner Was Killed In Explosion

The bond between a human being and a dog is unshakable, and there's is something indescribable and unique about it.

If anyone needed anymore proof of their undying loyalty, this should serve as one of the biggest examples. A loyal dog makes daily visit to Mexican coal mine to wait for his deceased owner to come home - three weeks after he was killed in collapse that killed six other miners.

According to a report in Daily Mail, Gonzalo Cruz, had adopted an abandoned dog he called Cuchufleto six months ago and together they would walk the half-mile to the coal mine where he worked.

Cruz's widow, Sandra Brise?o said: "He would leave with my husband at 6:30am. He even went inside with my husband to the mine. He did not care that it was dark. There he was. Sometimes he would go out and wait for him outside."

The bond between them was so strong that the dog would sometimes return back home while Cruz was at work but would walk back to the mine if he noticed that his owner was running late.

It all changed on June 4. Tragically, Cruz lost his life along with six other miners, after a coal mine in a northern Mexico border state that flooded and later collapsed.

Cuchufleto reportedly sensed that Cruz had not arrived back from the mine and walked the half mile to check on his owner, where he was met by dozens of workers attempting to rescue the trapped miners, Brise?o told television station 15 Sabinas.

The loyal dog stood outside the mine until the rescue workers pulled his owner's body out of the wreckage on June 6.

Since then, the heartbroken dog spends his days lying in front of the door steps waiting for Cruz to come back from his shift at the mine.
