Pet dog sits beside owner’s bier On Monday morning, before the funeral procession began, family members allowed Duggu to sit beside Jain one final time. They said the dog quietly stayed near his owner for several minutes before walking back inside the house. Further, Duggu walked alongside the bier for a short distance before suddenly collapsing and dying. The family believes the elderly dog, who had been with Jain for 15 years, could not bear the loss of the man it had spent most of its life with, the report stated. Pradeep Jain’s younger brother, Dilip Jain, said Duggu had been a part of the family since he was a puppy and shared an exceptionally close bond with his owner. “He would wait eagerly for my brother to return home every day. They often ate meals together, and whenever my brother fell ill, Duggu would stop eating and become unwell too,” PTI quoted Dilip.
