He killed his dog so that they could bury him with her | Chronic

Emma, a Shih Tzu mixed-breed dog, was sacrificed and cremated in Virginia, United States, despite the efforts of an animal shelter to prevent this from happening. His owner had asked him, at his death, to bury the animal next to his body.

Workers at the nursing home in Virginia reportedly spent two weeks trying to convince relatives of the deceased not to fulfill their last wishes. However, Emma was sacrificed in March of this year, although the news was known in the last few hours.

"We suggest that they can adopt the animal on many occasions because it is a dog in which we can easily find a home and a new home"he said Carrie Jones, responsible for the shelter.

Emma was cremated and her ashes were delivered to the representative of the estate of the deceased woman to be buried.

The dog was buried next to its owner, in the same cemetery, where the two rest forever. In this Yankee state, it is forbidden to bury animals next to their owners in public cemeteries, but in private cemeteries, the owners of each place are free to decide and specify what they wish .
