Dog keeps coming back to destroyed house of departed humans in Afghanistan
The dog keeps coming back to the destroyed home of its humans who passed away in the Afghanistan earthquake.
Dogs are such wonderful animals that never forget their human’s generosity. Even if their human sadly passes away, the dog stays loyal to them and remembers them. That’s why dogs are known as man’s best friend. Such a heart-breaking tale is showcased in a photo shared on Twitter that shows a dog that keeps coming back to the destroyed house of its humans who were all unfortunately killed in the Afghanistan earthquake.
A woman named Samira SR, who is an advocacy and communications professional, shared the photo of the dog on her Twitter account on June 26. The photo shows the furry little dog standing amidst the rubble after a powerful earthquake hit Afghanistan last Wednesday. The caption of the photo says that every person in the house that this dog belonged to was killed in the earthquake. It further says that neighbours took the dog with them to take care of him and feed it, however, he keeps coming back to the destroyed house at Ochki village in Gayan, Paktika.
“Every person in the house this dog belongs to was killed in the earthquake. Neighbours said they took him with them to feed/take care of. He keeps coming back to the destroyed house and wails. Ochki village in Gayan, Paktika,” Samira wrote as caption to the photo.

“Hope he finds an owner who loves and cares for him just as the ones before. Disheartened by what happened in Afghanistan. May lord give all strength,” commented a Twitter user. “I’m glad the neighbours are looking after him. Thank you for doing so,” posted another. “We humans don’t deserve dogs,” shared a third.
An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 killed more than 1,100 people in Afghanistan with Paktika district being one of the worst-hit. In Gayan, at least 1,000 homes were damaged.
