Vaguito, a dog who spends his days on the beach of Punta Negra, Peru, waits for his owner, a fisherman, to return from a fishing trip. But Vaguito did not know that his owner had passed away after a trip to the sea and would never return.
The story of the loyal dog Vaguito was learned by a tourist named Jolie Mejía, who happened to come to Punta Negra beach to combine visiting family and friends. The story was shared by her on social networks, touching millions of people.

Jolie said, after the whole family checked into the hotel, they walked around the beach together to watch the sunset. By chance, they came across a dog sitting quietly alone. Looking at its appearance, it was quite sad with its eyes only looking into the distance.
The animal looked clean and well-fed, so she thought it must be waiting for its owner to return. Jolie spent a while petting and talking to him, but still, no one came. Finally, a man passed by saw both, and told her about Vaguito’s sad story.
The man said that Vaguito used to live in a house not far from the beach. The owner of the animal is a fisherman. In the past, he used to follow his owner after every sea trip and come here to pick it up when the boat returned. Then one day the owner died. But still following a habit, every day Vaguito went to the beach to wait in vain without seeing a familiar face with it appear anymore.

The people living around knew this heartbreaking story, but they still let him do what he wanted. They provide Vaguito with food, water, a place to sleep, and periodic health care. Before that, many people wanted to take the dog home, but he still found a way to return to the beach and had no intention of moving elsewhere. In the end, everyone respects and watches over it, providing support when needed.
On the last day, the Jolie family returned to the beach to say goodbye to the dog. She said that Vaguito’s loyalty touched everyone. “My little friend makes my heart flutter. But unfortunately, we are not destined to live together. Wish you always healthy and happy soon,” she wrote.
