Before he passed away, Masha’s elderly owner arrived at the hospital with her. The small dog was his only visitor. After he passed away, she began to show up at the hospital’s reception every day for one year.
A kindly local woman recently attempted to give Masha a loving home, but Masha slipped away and ran back to the hospital.
Much like Hachkiko from Japan and Greyfriars Bobby from Scotland, Masha demonstrates an unwavering loyalty, even after d.e.a.t.h. So much so, that the chief doctor of the hospital said that Masha’s home will now be in their hospital.
“It is so good to hear about the kind offers to adopt Masha from around the world,” he told The Siberian Times. “But we have now taken a decision to let Masha stay in our hospital.
Although the hospital wanted Masha to find a new family, they could tell she prefers to stay with them.
“There is nothing medicine can do for her here, but we are still hoping that Masha will be able to find another owner. One day, and we very much want this day to come soon, our Masha will trust somebody.” But for now, the faithful dog has a home for as long as she needs.
