  • A woman and her family were visiting a seaside community in Peru when they came across a lonely dog.
  • The dog was always staring at the sea.
  • The woman found out that the dog is waiting for his owner who was a fisherman and died a year ago.

Jolie Mejia and her family were visiting Punta Negra, a little seaside community near their home in Peru, the other day when they came across a story of pure love.

Mejia and her family were relaxing by the sea when they were approached by a lone dog.

“He didn’t seem abandoned. He wore a ribbon around his neck and his fur was clean,” Mejía told The Dodo. “I pet him, waiting for his owner, but minutes passed and no one came.”

The dog was amused by Mejia’s pets, but his eyes were always drawn to the sea. And Mejia soon discovered the reason why.

Mejia and her family considered adopting the dog if he had actually been abandoned. So, when a man from the neighborhood passed by, Mejia inquired about the dog’s condition.

According to the man, everyone in the area is very fond of the dog, and everyone knows him.

“He told us that the dog’s owner was a fisherman who passed away some time ago, and that the dog comes to the beach every day and stares out to sea,” Mejia recounted.

The dog appears to be anticipating the return of his friend who will never come back.

Mejía and her family were very moved.

Mejia believes the dog’s owner drowned at sea around a year ago, and the dog has been looking for him every day since. Despite the fact that the dog’s owner may never return, the dog has friends who care for him.

People in the community are aware of the dog’s tragic story, as they feed him, shelter him, and provide him with medical attention when he requires it.

By the end of the day, Meja and her family had parted ways with Vaguito, whose eyes were still set out to sea. But Mejia will never forget the dog’s sad story — one of dedication to a lost loved one, and the love and compassion of a community.

“I have a dog at home,” Mejía said. “I love dogs in general. His story really touched my heart.”
