It is difficult to imagine the pain of losing someone, and any person who has experienced this can say that it is not an easy thing to handle.

The emptiness and grief that overcomes a person who now has to live without their loved one are massive, and without the right support, it would take longer to recover from the loss.

María José Sáez Orte recently lost a loved one and was visiting their grave when she came across an unlikely visitor.

Her sadness was still overwhelming, and she was alone, basking in it, when she realized that someone else was there in the place with her.

When María looked up, she saw a dog watching her silently.

The nameless dog was just standing there, looking at her in silence.

In a way, she found the animal’s presence quite comforting.

It was unusual for a dog to pass by the graveyard, but he was there and stayed friendly and adorable.

María felt solace as she pondered on her loved one’s grave site, accompanied by the loveable pup.

It was as if she had a newfound friend in the animal.

María received various comments on her post wherein people referred to the dog as her “guardian angel.”

True enough, the dog’s presence at that moment of sadness lifted the woman’s spirits and gave her a reason to smile.

The dog and María eventually parted ways that day.

Despite that, the woman found a start that would help her a lot on her way back to happiness.

Days passed, and María still could not forget the pup in the graveyard.

She decided to come back to visit her loved one’s grave site, hoping that she would also get another interaction with the nameless dog.

As it turned out, the pup passed by the site often and probably comforted other people visiting as well.

It is amazing how simply being present can help a person in need of another.

Without words, the nameless pup was just the one Maria needed that day.

Although María did not see the pup again, she found out that the stray dog is now in good hands after shelter workers found him and cared for him.
