Abandoned baby giraffe befriended by dog in South Africa dies

A baby giraffe that was befriended by a dog after being abandoned in the wild has died, a South African animal orphanage said Friday. “Our team is heartbroken,” the orphanage said.

Resident watchdog Hunter seemed to realize something was wrong and didn’t leave the baby giraffe’s side, and was there when he died, the orphanage said. The dog afterward sat in front of the empty room for hours before going to its carers for comfort. The baby giraffe had arrived a few weeks ago, just days after birth. A farmer found him in the wild, weak and dehydrated, and called the center for help.

Rip jazz what a sweet friendship

I didn’t need this

Gee thanks. Ruin my weekend.

Thank you. I hadn’t read a “kick me in the balls” story today.

It's amazing how the mother giraffe just knew that the baby was sick and that's why she abandoned it...nature is brutal and beautiful. 😢💔

Ugh stop with these sad stories!!😪

😭🦒❤️🐶

This is world news?

Wow. Imagine if humans were half as compassionate with one another.

Unlike humans, animals have no prejudice. That's what makes them superior.

I do not like this article.

More cool game for farm, less domestic sheep and cattle.

R.I.P.

Ahhh this is not the Hollywood ending we requested. 😧

misread as 'beheaded'

Literally, everything wants to befriend dogs.
