SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – A picture really says a thousand words: a golden retriever is grieving over the loss of her puppy in Laurel Grove Cemetery North.
With freezing cold temperatures on the horizon, the goal was to rescue the dog on Wednesday, but after many failed attempts, it became clear she just refuses to part with her baby.
Deep in the heart of one of Savannah’s most historic cemeteries, we find a mother mourning the loss of her offspring.
“At first I was like ‘Jeez, that’s pretty hard and that’s pretty heavy,’” said photographer Hunter Cone.
The golden retriever has lain in Laurel Grove North for at least two days, refusing to leave her baby’s side, as most mothers would. Cone discovered her on a photography outing to the cemetery.
“It made me feel really depressed and upset,” Cone said. “That’s something I didn’t want to see, but I’m kind of glad I did.”
