Knocked unconscious, someone in his Bahía Blanca neighborhood called the paramedics, while his dog, Tony, remained by his side.

Thankfully, Hueche gained consciousness and with his dog by his side, gave him a pat to let his four-legged friend know everything is going to be okay. The faithful dog still remained committed to his owner.

When Huerche had to be taken into the ambulance, Tony tried to go with him.

After being released, Huerche told a local station that Tony was rescued as a stray, which may explain his loyalty.

“One day we saw him on the street and adopted him, gave him love, food and is part of our family,” Hueche told local  La Brujula 24 . “For me he’s like a son.”
