DOG WHO GUARDED HIS MOTHER’S BODY FINDS A NEW HOME - “Refusing to leave his dead mother’s side for days after she was hit…Prince was skinny, hot, and scared.”
In late April, a Labrador Retriever was killed by a car on Highway 58 near Comanche, California. Her son, a 4-month-old named Prince, refused to leave her body and roamed the area for days. Fortunately, he was rescued by local animal rescuers, and received help by a rescue organization called Marley’s Mutts. Prince has now been adopted by a family in California.

There’s a happy ending to what began as a sad dog tale. A four-month-old Labrador Retriever, caught on a popular YouTube video refusing to leave his dead mother’s side, is in his new forever home now. Prince…is now part of a Bakersfield family…
Katy Hutson and Courtney Cleric are local animal rescue volunteers. They just happened to be the ones who found Prince last month…Refusing to leave his dead mother’s side for days after she was hit on Highway 58 near Comanche, Prince was skinny, hot, and scared.
