In a heartwarming story of animal loyalty, a dog waits on the road in Houston to flag down help for his injured buddy called Matthew. Saving his doggo friend’s life!
Loyal Buddy
When the loyal dog saw his friend get injured he stayed by his side for a while, knowing that no one would see them in the ditch next to the road. He risked his own life to wait in the middle of the road for a car with kind humans to pull over to take them to his injured buddy.
Injured
The injured dog called Matthew, was hit by a car that had fled the scene in Houston. Luckily for Matthew, he had a very brave friend called Corey who waited for over 6 hours trying to flag down some good samaritans to help him!
Good Samaritans
Samantha Zimmer and her fiancé saw a Facebook post that led to them searching for Matthew and Corey, and luckily they found them! After driving around for a while, they saw Corey waiting for help on the road – finally, they found them!
Look Here!
Cory led the couple to the ditch where Matthew was lying in a puddle, unable to move. At the time they didn’t know that the poor fella’s bones were broken. He was just so happy for help that his tail kept wagging.

Emotional Capabilities of Dogs
If you have a pet dog, you would know that they can form emotional connections with you. But, they also form these bonds with other dogs, even if they aren’t related by blood. Their ability to understand and respond to the emotions of their close companions makes them incredibly sensitive and compassionate creatures.
Ability to Recover
Dogs have a remarkable ability to recover from injuries, thanks to their resilience and care provided by veterinarians and caregivers. With proper medical treatment, rest, and rehabilitation, many dogs can bounce back from even severe injuries. Their determination and positive spirits often play a crucial role in their healing process, allowing them to regain their strength and return to their normal activities.
Finding An Injured Dog
If you find an injured dog, be careful when approaching as they might be in shock and react out of fear. However, if you can approach the dog, cover it with a blanket and move them carefully. The most important thing is to get them to professional care as soon as possible. Also, alert the appropriate authorities on the matter.
Dogs & Cars
Dogs are naturally curious and their instincts are to chase moving objects like cars or other animals, which could be a reason why dogs get hit by cars. They might also get disoriented or scared, causing them to dart into traffic unexpectedly. Additionally, lack of proper supervision or secure containment, such as broken fences or open gates, can lead to dogs wandering onto busy roads.
