This week's lesson in loyalty and friendship comes from two dogs in the devastated coastal Arahama area of Japan. A Japanese camera crew came across one of the dogs pacing frantically around the apocalyptic scene and discovered it was actually protecting another pooch lying motionless nearby.

At first the crew thought the second dog was dead, according to a translation of the voiceover by The Metro. But he eventually raised his dirty head and received a pat from his friend.

Both dogs have since been rescued, according to a Facebook post by Kenn Sakuri, president of Butch Japan, a dog and cat food company:
The one which came close to the camera is in the better condition. The other white, gray and black was weak. So it is in the vet clinic in Ibaraki Prefecture. The other dog is in the shelter of the same area. But please know that those two are just the tip of the iceberg. There are more and we need help.
Watch the heart-rending video below.
