A pet dog in Nepal has refused to leave the site of his former home after devastating floods washed away four houses in Trishuli Bazaar, Nuwakot. The black-and-white dog, still wearing his collar, continues to sit near what was once his family’s doorway, despite bulldozers and rescue workers clearing mud, timber and debris around him. His owners remain unaccounted for. Workers initially tried to coax him away with biscuits, but he barely responded and repeatedly returned to the same spot. Volunteers now leave food and water nearby, which he takes only when the area becomes quiet. For displaced residents, the dog’s unwavering wait has become a poignant symbol of loyalty, loss and hope amid the disaster. (PC: X/@TheDailyJagran)
