Covito
As they did not know his name, the health center workers called him Covito, an ironic and sad name for the cause of his master’s death. But this dog brings joy to those who pass by.
Dulce, administrative head of the area in charge of caring for the hospital’s covid-19 patients, assured the Mexican newspaper ‘El Mañana’ that Covito is very affectionate and is loved by all the staff.
“This little dog gives us a lot of happiness. Whenever he sees us and accompanies us from the coronavirus area to the general hospital area. Even though it’s 5 in the morning, he’s standing at the door”, He detailed.
Covito anxiously waits for his master to cross the hospital door.

To help him, they gave him a blanket and the dog uses it to sleep on a piece of cardboard.
Covito is docile with everyone who comes close to him and he won the love of patients and doctors. In addition, the hospital staff said, whenever he sees someone leave, he runs excitedly to the door to see if it is his owner.

Hachiko
There are many cases like this. The best known, without a doubt, is that of the dog Hachiko, who was born in Odate (Japan), in 1923, and was adopted by a teacher whom he waited for at the Shibuya train station every afternoon when he came home from work.
Although he only shared two years with his owner, who died in 1925 from a stroke, he continued to wait for him at the station until he died. In front of that place there is a statue of the dog, in honor of his loyalty.
