Watch heartbreaking moment dog tries to save dying friend hit by car isplaying what appear to be human-like emotions, the devastated canine is filmed pawing and nudging his friend after being struck in a road in Mexico City This is the heartbreaking moment a young dog desperately tries to pull his companion out of a road after it was hit by a car. Displaying what appear to be human-like emotions, the devastated hound is filmed pawing and nudging his friend. It was snapped by taxi driver Serrano Madera, 42, when he was driving through Mexico City. He said: I saw a dog run in front of the car coming the other way closely followed by second dog, and it was the second dog that was struck by the car. The driver didnt stop, he just carried on, but I did stop because the first dog ran back in front of me and started nudging the dead one in the street. I didnt drive off straight-away because I was not sure if the dog was going to run in front of me again, and then was fascinated by the dog trying to wake up its clearly dead companion. The video footage shot on Maderas mobile phone shows the live animal nudging the dead dog, and then using its front legs to try and pull it out of the way of the traffic and safely on side of the road. Eventually, after failing, the dog settles down beside its dead companion hoping apparently that it is going to come round. The story has been widely shared in Mexican media with animal activists seizing on it to show that dogs deserve more respect in the country and that they also have emotions just like people and should be respected more. The taxi driver added that before driving off he had moved the dead body to one side of the road and said there was nothing that could be done for the animal as it had clearly been killed instantly.
