Chinese pensioner left all his money to his dog

News24xx.com - Jun Wang, 71, a resident of Harbin in Heilongjiang Province of China, wanted to leave a legacy he had accumulated throughout his life to a veterinary shelter for his dog Erfu, who had accompanied him for the past 11 years. He was his only friend, according to the «China Daily». Breed of Erfu not specified.

An elderly Jun turned to a local animal shelter, saying that he plans to bequeath to the organization all his personal savings in the amount of 80,000 yuan (more than $ 12,000 dollars). The man expressed the hope that the money will go to the maintenance of his dog after his death.

Erfu (in Chinese, “Two Blessings”) has been the only member of the family of the 71-year-old resident of the Middle Kingdom for the past ten years. Son Junyou died in a car accident at the age of 6. Subsequently, the wife of Wang Jun died from the disease. An elderly Harbin resident himself was paralyzed on one side and had already suffered a stroke and myocardial infarction, but there was no one to take care of him. The Chinese, desperate for a friend, sheltered the dog, who at that time was still a puppy. According to the social worker who visits the Chinese, the dog is very loyal to its owner, constantly goes after him and doesn’t let anyone near him.

In the winter of 2015, the dog ran away and disappeared for six days. Jun was looking for it, tracking down the snow and putting up ads with the promise of a reward of 3,000 yuan ($ 450 dollars). The animal was found, but the man who found the dog refused to be rewarded.

The Chinese took care of the dog: he set aside money to buy it fresh meat, turned on a fan for it when it was hot in summer. When volunteers came home to Wang with medicines, it wagged her tail, welcoming help to its master.

In early August, Wang became very ill, and he had to go to the hospital. Legally, he left his savings to an animal shelter, where he also bequeathed to place a pet after his death. At the same time, the shelter manager agreed to take care of the dog, but didn’t take the money.
