The footage, which was captured in Taguatinga in the
country's Federal District in March, is currently going viral on social media,
with people praising the canine's loyalty.
Local media reports the dog stood by its homeless owner when
he suddenly collapsed until paramedics arrived at the scene.
As they sped to a nearby hospital with the man, they spotted
the mutt in the rear-view mirror sprinting after the emergency vehicle. One of
the paramedics filmed it easily keeping pace.
With the determined dog hot on their tail and a long journey
ahead, the crew finally pulls over and welcomes it inside.
At the hospital, the faithful companion was later
photographed standing beside its owner's stretcher where it reportedly remained
for the length of the man's stay.
