Loyal Dog Runs Over Six Miles with Owner’s Wedding Parade to Give A Send-off to the Bride
A faithful pet dog touched the hearts of many when he ran alongside a wedding procession for over six miles to bid farewell to his owner, the bride.
The dog, named Fugui, kept running until he couldn’t go any further. He then watched as the cars drove away.
Fugui and the bride, Fu Xi, had spent two years together before Ms. Fu got married to her fiancé at the wedding ceremony on Sunday, according to a local told MailOline.
A lovable dog named Fugui has gained immense popularity on the internet in China. He stole the show by running alongside a wedding procession for over six miles, bidding farewell to his owner, who happened to be the bride.
This heartwarming incident occurred in Huashi Town, located in Xiangtan County, within China’s Hunan Province.
A touching video captures the dog, named Fugui, eagerly waiting at the entrance of his village in southern China, and then determinedly trying to keep pace with the wedding procession.
At first, Fugui manages to run alongside the bride’s car. However, as time goes on, he starts to struggle and eventually comes to a stop on the road, watching the convoy continue without him.
According to a wedding planner who recorded the video, Fugui ran for over 20 minutes, covering a distance of more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
According to a resident who shared the story with MailOnline, the dog patiently waited at the entrance of his village in southern China for the wedding procession. He made a valiant effort to run alongside it but eventually became exhausted.
The resident reported that the dog ran for over 20 minutes, covering more than 6.2 miles. However, the dog didn’t have enough energy to make it all the way to the wedding venue.
A man, who preferred not to be named, revealed that the bride had requested for the dog to be placed inside her car during the event. However, for unknown reasons, the dog didn’t get in the car.
According to the same source, Fugui eventually gave up chasing after becoming too tired.
Since its upload on Monday to Douyin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok, the 51-second video has received numerous comments and garnered significant attention.
The bride returned to her parents’ house the day after her wedding. In another video, she is seen affectionately petting Fugui, who had fully recovered from his long run and was back to his playful self.
One fan expressed, ‘This video proves that dogs are man’s best friends.’
Another person shared their emotions, suspecting, ‘This is so moving I cried. Please treat small animals well.’
However, some people criticized the bride for not allowing the dog to enter her car.
One viewer commented, ‘I have to say the bride was harsh and let it keep running like this.’
The bride, Ms. Fu, paid a visit to her parent’s home the day after her wedding to see Fugui.
In a separate video, she is seen petting the dog and asking, ‘why didn’t you go home like I had told you to’ referring to his chase on Sunday.
Fortunately, Fugui recovered from the incident on the same day and is now back to his usual playful self.
