Dogs are known as being "man's best friend," and they deserve this title because they're very loyal companions. Because of their bonding nature, their hearts become weighed down with loneliness when they are abandoned. In the case of this dog, she was left staring across a river in Bangkok, Thailand. She sat and waited for over a month for her missing owner.

The new owner of the dog named her Tha Reua, which is translated "pier" in English. Apparently, the poor dog fell off the boat that she was riding on with her former owner. She got her name because of people who encountered her waiting on the pier for her human companion so that she could be with her family once again.

Thanawan Tongporn made the story of the lonely dog public. On her Facebook page, she went into detail about the dog's unfortunate plight, and the story went viral because it touched the hearts of a lot of people on the internet. The poor dog had to scavenge for scraps in order to try and survive, but people were aware of her situation, so passing strangers saved her from starving.

Even though people helped her and fed her, the dog still regularly returned to the pier in the hope that her human companion would return. Her former owner never returned, and no one ever found out where the person went.

Thanawan made a follow-up post to the original one that went viral. It told the details of how she took the dog into her own home. The dog is once again in a home where she's loved and cared for. Thanawan continues to post pictures of the dog to the delight of people who kept up with the story.
