Loyal Like No Other, Dog Looks Over Another Dog, Got A Tissue?

There are a lot of heartbreaking stories coming out of Japan involving the human tragedy, but a tragedy of this scale affects all living things, including our four legged friends. See the video of a dog watching over another injured  dog after the break.

The video is a stark reminder that, as was the case when Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005, there will likely be thousands of pets orphaned or involuntarily abandoned due to the catastrophe in Japan. If you'd like to help efforts to help these animals, you can find info on doing so here.

UPDATE: CNN and the UK Telegraph have both reported that the dogs have been rescued since the footage aired, and are both receiving veterinary care; the more seriously wounded dog is at a clinic in the city of Mito, while the protective spaniel-type dog is receiving care at a shelter in the same town.
