Mysterious things take place when a man and a dog become attached. This is what took place as “Jerjes,” a dog, said goodbye to his friend Jorge Baeza, a member of the Carabineros Canine Training Unit, with tears in his eyes.

Baeza and the dog have gotten along well ever since “Jerjes” joined the team in 2013. After that, it was impossible to keep them apart. His team in the capital city moved swiftly to arrange for his transfer to Concepción for his funeral. The animal’s emotional response was a surprise.

In a Facebook post, Eduardo Ortega, who was present for the funeral, wrote, “I think it’s important to share this photo since today we said goodbye to the remains of a colleague, a canine teacher, and his colleagues from Santiago brought his trusty friend to say goodbye to him.”

Look at your devoted friend who spent some time at the graveyard. I feel compelled to share this picture since it affected me so deeply. Then he added, “Rest in peace, dear fellow dog breeder.”
