Recently, a loyal dog named Cesur faced the heartbreak of losing his cherished owner. His bond to him, however, showcased an unwavering commitment. His human, Mehmet Ilhan, aged 79, passed away in a hospital situated in Bursa, Turkey. Mehmet’s son, Ali, shared with The Dodo that due to his father’s medical condition, the bond between him and Cesur was uniquely profound. “During the final moments of my father in the hospital, Cesur refrained from eating,” Ali recalled.
Yet, no one expected Cesur’s reactions during the funeral proceedings. Upon Mehmet’s body being brought back home, Cesur remained unwaveringly by its side. Remarkably, the dog even took the lead in the procession that carried the casket to the local mosque for the funeral rites. Ali remarked, “Until my father was finally laid to rest, no one could approach Cesur.”
In the days following the funeral, Cesur persistently visited Mehmet’s resting place. Ali recounted, “Cemetery workers have shared that Cesur’s first task every morning is to visit my father’s grave.” Ali became fully aware of this routine when he decided to tail Cesur one day.
Fully aware of Cesur’s devotion and grief, Ali expressed his commitment to care for the mourning canine, emphasizing, “Cesur has always displayed noble behavior. From now on, he’ll be with me.”
A few key points to note:
- Cesur displayed steadfast loyalty after his owner’s passing.
- Mehmet Ilhan, aged 79, had a special bond with Cesur due to his health challenges.
- Cesur’s refusal to eat signaled his grief when Mehmet was in his last days.
- The dog’s commitment was evident when he led the funeral procession and consistently visited the grave.
- Ali, recognizing Cesur’s dedication, has promised to provide him a loving home henceforth.
