On Friday, a local news reporter from Jacksonville Florida, shared a picture of a dog lying in the road on Twitter.
Reporter Russell Colburn explained that the dog, called Paco, had been lying there, alone, for some time.
It later transpired that, at around 6.15am that morning, the dog’s owner Karen Black, 42, had been killed in a hit-and-run while they were out for a walk.
Paco had been lying near to where she was killed, waiting for her to come back, for several hours after her body was removed.
