A loyal dog which has waited on a busy road for more than 80 days after its owner died there has captured the hearts of online communities in China.

　　主人去世后，一只忠诚的狗在繁忙的公路上等待了80多天，让中国网民纷纷感动不已。

　　Footage of the animal in the middle of the road in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, has been viewed 1.4 million times on the popular Sina Weibo microblog.

　　新浪微博中一个视频显示，这只狗蹲守在内蒙古呼和浩特市的一条车道中央，该视频在新浪微博上被浏览了140万次。

　　China’s Pear Video website said the dog has been seen in the road every day since its owner died on 21 August.

　　中国的梨视频网站称，这只狗自从主人于8月21日去世后，每天都守候在这条路上。

　　A taxi driver said people try to help but the dog runs away.

　　一名出租车司机说，他想帮帮这只狗，但它却躲开了他。

　　"Drivers often give the little dog bits of food, but when we get out, he goes away," he said.

　　“司机经常给小狗一点儿食物，但我们一下车，他就会躲开，”他说。

　　"This owner’s relationship with her dog was very deep. After she was killed, this little dog has just stayed standing guard.

　　"Every day it’s in the road, I always see it. The relationship between man and dog is so true."

　　“每天，它都在守在这条路上，我总能看到它。人与狗之间的感情是很真实的。”

　　The video was filmed on 10 November and since it was shared on Sina Weibo, the site used instead of Twitter or Facebook in China, users have been commenting on the "loyalty" of the dog.

　　该视频于11月10日拍摄，自从在新浪微博上发布后(在中国网民一般使用微博而不是Twitter或Facebook)，用户一直称赞这只狗的“忠心耿耿”。

　　One person said: "This little dog is so loyal. My family used to have a dog and every day it would wait for me by the village school."

　　Another user was concerned for the welfare of the pet.

　　"It is so dangerous for that doggy to stand in the middle of the road. I hope that some good people can adopt it and take it to a safe place," they said.

　　他们说：“这只小狗站在路中间是非常危险的。我希望有好心人可以领养它，并把它带到一个安全的地方。”

　　But this is not the first devoted dog to tug on the heartstrings of those on China’s social platforms.

　　但这并不是第一只感动中国社交网络的忠狗。

　　Earlier this year, Pear Video users fell hard for an elderly dog named Xiongxiong who would wait patiently outside a train station for his owner to come homefrom work.

　　今年早些时候，梨视频的用户为拍摄了一只名叫熊熊的老狗，它在火车站外耐心地等待他的主人下班回家。

　　In Japan, Hachiko the Akita became famous in the 1920s for meeting his master every day at a railway station. He continued to make the journey nine years after his owner’s death.

　　在日本，20世纪20年代一只名为“八公”的秋田犬每天都会在火车站等候他的主人，甚至主人去世九年后还继续等着，这只狗因此而闻名。
