A distress call for loyalty
Alejandro, the owner of a dog named Tono, fell seriously ill and required hospitalisation. Tono’s unwavering loyalty was evident as he refused to leave Alejandro’s side. Despite being ill himself, Alejandro was transported from Villa de Leyva to Tunja, a journey of approximately 40 kilometres. During this time, a fortuitous oversight—an open door—allowed Tono to escape from their home and sprint after the ambulance.
