Dog's Loyalty Shines Through Tragedy as it Walks Itself Home After Owner's Death.

A visually impaired woman was killed in a hit-and-run while walking her dog in Nashville. The dog walked itself back home and was found unharmed by police officers. Animal control officials are working to identify a next of kin of the dog, and if no one is identified, the pet will go through the standard procedure for placement in a new home. The incident is reminiscent of Hachikō, a Japanese Akita who became a symbol of loyalty after waiting for his owner at a train station every day until his death.
