Man's best friend always! Dog refuses to leave hospital after owner dies

London: A dog in Argentina refused to leave a hospital after his owner died although he was shown the door numerous times by the staff.

Everytime he was shown the door, the dog wanders into the hospital's room 404 where he had last seen his owner before an operation, mirror.co.uk reported.

No one has come forward to claim the dog after his owner passed away he hasn't left San Antonia de Padua Hospital either in Argentina's Rio Cuarto city.

The hospital staff has now nicknamed the dog as Pirata - which means Pirate - due to its black spots around his eyes.

Although the hospital staff wanted the dog gone, the animal refused to leave the premises and so they decided to adopt it.
