Having found himself alone at home because his whole family is hospitalized due to Covid-19, a dog stands guard in the house of his master, who has unfortunately died. The images are overwhelming.
Neighbors of Saeng-Ngern Thanarungwit , 76, have been bringing food and water to her dog every day since they found out the animal was on its own.
The septuagenarian has, in fact, died of Covid-19 and his whole family is in the hospital after being infected in turn by the virus, as reported by the Mirror this Wednesday, May 5.
The images of the dog alone, standing behind the bars of the garage gate and barking in distress are poignant.
Saeng-Ngern Thanarungwit was admitted to hospital on April 20, in Chachoengsao province in Thailand. He died of the disease on April 29.
The neighbors will feed him until his family returns
One of the neighbors, by the name of Arnon Namporn , assured that the dog is kind and friendly. If he seems fearful and on his guard, it is because of his loneliness and his incomprehension in the face of the absence of his deceased owner. “ He looks so sad because he is alone and the other family members have been taken to the hospital, ” says Namporn .
