Loyal Denver Dog Guards Worthless Box in Public Vigil
A stray dog perched atop a fast moving truck in Denver guards a toppled pasteboard box for two days. He dives after the falling carton, drags it to safety amid traffic, and ignores Human attempts to rescue it. His master returns, ending the vigil with a joyous reunion. The tale, likened to Bronze, the St Bernard, highlights idiotic yet heroic loyalty.
