“This boy wasn’t going to let anyone mess with his sister. Our ACOs had a hard time convincing him everything was going to be alright and they were there to help him,” officials said in the post. “This call was one of the most heart-wrenching for our staff...”

The dog was later named “Guardian," for his loyalty, after he refused to leave his sister’s side until officials arrived.

As of Saturday, Guardian is now at the shelter and will be held on stray hold for four days.

He’s scheduled to be adopted at 8 a.m. May 29th, the day he becomes available.
