Global Animal - UPDATE: 1:50 pm PST, March 16, 2011 – CNN and The Telegraph UK are reporting that both dogs received medical attention. The injured dog is currently at a veteranarian in Mito and the loyal white and brown spaniel friend is at a shelter with vet services in the same town. In summary of the mens' conversation in Japanese: at first the two thought the injured dog was dead. They immediately called a vet for assistance for both dogs. The men say they wish they had brought food to give the dogs. We will continue to follow any updates on this story and the status of the injured dog who is reportedly still weak.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the information about these two lucky dogs. I feel much better seeing they are both getting vet attention.

As someone once said; Anyone who says you can't buy love has never purchased a dog. We could learn something about loyalty and yes, humanity, from that dog.

It has come to my attention, in both pictures and videos, that the Japanese are devoted to their animals. I've seen dogs in shelters and dogs being tested for radioactivity as well as people wandering around holding their animals. So sad to see so much devastation. My prayers are with them.
