Walking along the beach one day, this adorable dog finds and buries a dead turtle.

The owner stood there in awe.

Nature is beautiful and we can learn a lot from watching different species interact.

Walking along the beach with his owners, an australian shepherd named PJ, stumbled upon a turtle.

Giving it a sniff and realising it had passed, PJ started using his to nose to push sand over the turtles body – over and over again.

This happened until his body was completely blanketed in sand.

Thus burying him to protect his body from predators and keep him safe.

Then after PJ was finished with his job, he sat nearby and watched his pile of sand.

The owner celebrated and showed her affection by cuddling PJ. Thus rewarding him for a job well done.

She put a stone on the pile and they had a loving memorial in remembrance of the turtles life.

What to do if you find yourself in this situation: If dead or alive, make sure to contact your local turtle or animal center.
