A grieving dog won’t leave the coffin of a victim of Italy’s earthquake.

The scene is a grim snapshot of Wednesday’s earthquake that rocked central Italy and left at least 281 people dead and thousands more homeless.

Families grieved beside their departed loved ones, saying their final farewells before they are buried on Saturday.

Little is known of the victim whose companion still guards his casket except that he came from Accumoli, one of the communities that bore the brunt of the devastating quake. The quake was so strong that the town sank by 20 cm, according to Italy’s geological institute.

      I’ve known animals smarter than many humans I’ve come across in my years.

      I’ll always side with animals over people. Remember, animals won’t lie to you, steal from you or cheat on you! Can’t say the same for the human race.

    If that doesn’t stir emotion…..

    Bless the beasts and the children.
