Lao Pan, an unmarried man without much family, found close companionship with his loyal dog. And even though tragedy, their steadfast bond lives on.

Pan lived in the Chinese village of Panjiatun, but died earlier this month at the age of 68. His furry friend was found by villagers at Pan's grave safeguarding the site according to BBC News. The loyal pup refused to leave even after going seven days without food.

Sky News reports that since noticing the dog, villagers have been bringing food and water to the gravesite, and are even planning to build a kennel there for the dog to sleep in.

1. Heartbreaking

our dogs love us as much as we love them

I hope he finds a good home with one of the villagers

2. There is a poem about this subject, too. And here's a quote to go with yours.

"I saw deep in the eyes of the animals the human soul look out upon me. I saw where it was born deep down under feathers and fur, or condemned for a while to roam four-footed among the brambles I caught the clinging mute glance of the prisoner and swore that I would be faithful." -Henry David Thoreau

3. That's really something to think about

deep down under the feathers and fur....

4. This story made me sad.

Also, I think I want another dog.
