Woman Shares The Emotional Story Behind Dog Sitting All Alone, Staring Out To Sea

As a woman strolled along the beach near her home in Peru, she noticed a devoted dog sitting there all day long, transfixed by the sight of the sea. She thought about taking him home with her until she eventually discovered why he was so curiously watching those waves.

On February 27th, 23-year-old Jolie Mejía met a friendly pup while strolling along the shores of Punta Negra in Lima. To her amazement, the canine was well-groomed and adorned with a green ribbon around its neck – an indication that he had been taken care of by someone else. She told The Epoch Times that she could not believe how gentle and receptive to petting it was!

When Mejia first laid eyes on the dog, she fell in love with him. She noted that he had an aura of calmness emanating from his tranquil gaze, but kept a distance at first. However, after a few minutes of petting and taking pictures, a local man recognized the pup – thus confirming her suspicions about it being someone’s beloved four-legged family member!

The local man informed her that the pup was called Vaguito, signifying vagrant in English. “At first I assumed he owned it,” she mentioned. “I exclaimed, ‘Hey, don’t worry! I’m returning your dog to you!’ but then the man told me Vaguito wasn’t his pet.”

Mejia informed that Vaguito was liked by the locals and neighbors of the beach. He further added that his owner, a fisherman, who passed away a year ago used to return every day in the hope of seeing him back. Such loyalty touched many hearts as he kept returning at the same time every day for one whole year!

Mejia found himself profoundly moved by the dog’s story; she could feel the intensity of his love for his deceased master. “He was so ecstatic when he noticed boats or other fishermen in the sea,” Mejía narrated with emotion. “It tore me apart to understand that he would never reunite with him again, but at once, it also gave me much inspiration.” Indeed, this faithful angel had touched her heart immensely.

Mejía was ready to take Vaguito home and become his mommy, that is until she asked the resident if he needed a home. To her surprise, not only were all of the neighbors providing him with food, shelter, and medical care; but they had already created such a loving environment for Vaguito!

She learned that the green ribbon around Vaguito’s neck had been placed there by a local vet. Hoping to bring some company and attention to this lonely pup, Mejía decided to spread his incredible story across social media. “I knew the best way I could help him was through giving lots of love,” she proclaimed.

According to Mejía, Vaguito’s best chance for survival was staying at the beach – his home and purpose. She shared on Twitter that a man explained how he had been owned by a fisherman who passed away some time before. “Since then,” she said, translated from Spanish, “he stares out towards the sea every day and gets excited when boats sail in.” This sweet baby left an indelible impact on her after their encounter at the beach.

Thousands of people responded to Vaguito’s tweet with compassion and understanding. Despite not visiting Punta Negra since that moment, Mejía is determined for people to grasp how significant a human companion can be in the life of a dog. She commented: “The love they offer us is never-ending.” She hopes that this story inspires others to nurture their pets and give them unconditional love – as much as it deserves.
