It all started late last year when the dog’s owner, a homeless man, was taken to the hospital after developing an infection that would later prove fatal. Medical staff reported that Negão ran alongside the ambulance all the way to the hospital, watched his favorite human be carried inside and waited outside for his return. He has been waiting outside the building ever since, not knowing that the eagerly awaited reunion with his owner will never happen. Every time an ambulance arrives, the dog’s ears perk up and he follows it to see if it is carrying his master, as it did many months ago.

It wasn’t long before hospital staff noticed Negão’s constant
presence outside the hospital, and after hearing his tragic story, they
started caring for him, bringing him food and water, as well as making
sure he had shelter from the elements. On two occasions, families
impressed by his loyalty attempted to adopt him, but both times he
managed to escape from their homes and returned to the hospital to
resume his vigil. Since then, the hospital stopped trying to find him
new owners and instead started working with an animal charity to make
sure that he was well taken care of until he was ready to move on.

“He will stay here with us until he decides if he wants to leave or
not,” hospital official Giselle Bianchi said. “As long as he remains
here, we will give all the care, warmth and love he needs.” She adds
that many employees have accepted Negão as part of their family and have
dedicated all their spare time to him. They regularly go out to
feed and pet him, and he has also been neutered and vaccinated.

Despite suffering a heavy loss, Negão’s future seems bright.http://www.odditycentral.com/animals/loyal-dog-refuses-to-leave-hospital-where-his-owner-died-eight-months-ago.html
