Heartbreaking photos of a loyal dog refusing to leave its owner, Omer Guven’s grave a week after his death have emerged online.
It was gathered that the owner moved to the district of Kaymakli in the northern Turkish province of Trabzon 12 years ago after losing his wife.
According to the news site Olay53, Omer began to take care of stray cats and dogs after moving to Kaymakli.
Omer first began to take care of a German Shepherd puppy 11 years ago, whom he named “Fero”.
He was generally regarded and viewed as an animal lover by individuals around him.
Sadly, Omer became ill and was taken to the hospital on 29th October. The 92-year-old was later confirmed dead.
After the death of his owner, the loyal dog, Fero kept watching over the coffin until the burial the following day.
Since then, Fero has been lying on Omer’s grave and has refused to leave, frequently rubbing its head in the soil.
Speaking about this, Omer’s daughter Sevilay Surul said:
“My father loved Fero very much.
“He also had an incredible love for my father. He was so sad over the loss of my father.
“He didn’t eat or sleep for two days. My father loved all animals and kept them, but he had a special bond with Fero.”
Kaymakli community leader Temel Yilmaz said:
“Uncle Omer took great care of animals.
Fero was devastated when he passed away. We even saw tears flowing from Fero’s eyes.”
