Sacramento, CA – A woman in Sacramento discovered the body of a man thanks to a German shepherd who had been roaming her neighborhood. Catherine DeFazio tells KCRA what happened after she spotted the dog from her porch:
“So then it ran right by the street there, and I’m like, ‘No, don’t go to the street. Don’t,’” she said. “And he went right there in the bushes about three feet from the walkway. I can’t believe it. So he went in this and he looked up. And he made this yelp, and he just, like, looked me like that in my eyes, like this, like. And I looked over, and I’m like, there’s no way there’s a dead body.”
The coroner determined the man had been dead for about a week.
DeFazio realized that the shepherd belonged to the man, telling the news agency:
“I started putting 2 and 2 together. I knew I never seen that dog before, and I realized it was his.”
DeFazio was able to capture the distraught dog and enlisted the help of two friends to help secure a rescue for him. Currently, he is too distraught to be adopted, but his rescuers are confident that he will come around with time.
DeFazio said:
“It felt like he was grateful he was found, and I felt like the dog did take me to him. And all I could do is be respectful and preserve his honor, whether he was homeless, chose to be or not,”
