A faithful dog in Russia has been waiting at the hospital where her owner passed away, for the last year.
Masha, her breed unconfirmed but who resembles a Daschund, has been hanging around the Siberian hospital, arriving each morning since her master went into the hospital for treatment but never returned.

The Siberian Times reports that Masha was the only visitor to the hospital for her owner, who had arrived from the nearby village of Dvurechie
The hospital are hoping someone will come forward to adopt the animal.
The Siberian Times reports that Chief doctor Vladimir Bespalov told Novosibirsk Vesti TV: “You see her eyes, how sad they are - it’s not the usual shiny eyes for when a dog is happy. You can see this in animals in the same way as with people.
“There is nothing medicine can do for her here, but we are still hoping that Masha will be able to find another owner. One day, and we very much want this day to come soon, our Masha will trust somebody.”
