For seven days, the grieving animal has stood guard next to the body of his partner, unwilling to accept the death of his companion after it was hit by a car.
The dog dragged his partner's body away from the roadside on the outskirts of Filippovka, in the Perm region of Russia - and has refused to move since.
Instead he pats and paws at his mate, and tries to keep her warm with his own body, waiting for a miracle that will never come.
