A loyal dog waited for more than a week for his owner to leave the hospital, unaware that his master had already died

Toto did not move from that door.

His owner asked the family to take him to Pablo Soria Hospital, in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina, to say goodbye one last time. No one imagined it would truly be the last time. When everything was over, they got into the car and forgot about the 6-year-old Labrador lying next to the entrance. He has been there for more than a week.

Fátima Rodríguez, from a local rescue organization, says they are already looking for a new home for him, but with one condition: it must have a fenced-in yard, because Toto will try to escape to return to waiting. A neighbor who feeds him sums up what everyone thinks when they see him: “He seems to believe that his owner will come to take him home one day”. He needs surgery on one leg and still does not know that no one will ever cross that door for him again.
