Photos of a Labrador holding vigil outside an Argentinian hospital have gone viral for a heartbreaking reason. The dog was waiting for his elderly owner to return but, sadly, had no idea that his owner had passed away inside the hospital.

The 6-year-old dog, named Toto, patiently remained outside the Pablo Soria Hospital in the Argentinian city of San Salvador de Jujuy for an entire week in March 2019 before a rescue organization came to his aid.
