There's never a bad word said about a dog, is there? Well, unless it shits on the lawn outside. But all in all, they're pretty fucking epic creatures.

One kept an injured cyclist alive using it's body warmth, another helps collect plastic from the ocean. They're much better than humans, that's for sure.

And this pet pooch is no different, as it stuck by it's owners side when she collapsed in the street and frantically rallied around - even helping to push the stretcher out of the ambulance.

According to the MailOnline, the woman suddenly fainted while walking her golden retriever in Daqing city, in Heilongjiang, China, and passers-by immediately alerted emergency services.

Touched by the dog's persistence, paramedics at the scene made a special exception and allowed the pet to board the ambulance with the owner.

Oh stop it now.

Video footage of the incident, which happened on July 28, shows the unnamed woman lying on the ground with the devoted pup right by her side.

The dog was seen running in circles, distressed that its owner was not moving.

It was also seen frantically clinging onto the stretcher, standing on it's hind legs, as its owner was pushed towards the waiting ambulance.

The faithful pooch hopped onto the ambulance and watched over its owner like the guardian angel it is while they were both transported to Daqing People's Hospital.

When the pair arrived at the hospital, doctors let the loyal dog sit outside the treatment room. We can't take this for much longer.

The MailOnline reported that as soon as the woman was conscious, the first thing that came out of her mouth was the name of her beloved pet. We're happy to know they feel the same way about each other.

And like her true companion, the dog came dashing towards its owner, elated that she has recovered.

The hospital's head nurse, Zhang Jihong, told The Paper: "When we saw the patient hugging her dog, we knew we did the right thing by allowing it to tag along."

And fellow nurse, Yu Jingjing, said: "At first, we were afraid to approach the woman directly since the dog is a rather large one.

"However, while the dog was very protective of its owner, it did not show any signs of aggression towards us.

"When we approached the woman lying on the ground, the dog appeared to be happy that we were there to help its owner."

Of course, under normal circumstances, dogs aren't allowed into the hospital but this was not normal circumstances - this woman needed her dog.
