While Spain has been hit by a simultaneous blow of devastating floods in the southeast of the country and an explosion of coronavirus cases, a police department in the Catalonia region is remembering the heroic act of a sheepdog that was faithful to his job to the end.

The Civil Guard of the municipality of Fogars de Selva shared on Facebook the photo of a Border Collie named Piqué, remembering how he was rescued from a highway a year ago in March 2019 after he tried to follow a truck carrying the sheep he had been watching to the slaughterhouse.
