Dog Refuses To Leave His Owner's Side After Tragic Accident
Kelly Black, 42, was killed when she was struck and dragged by a pick-up truck.
But as she lay on the road her faithful dog, Paco, stayed by her side for hours even as emergency workers battled to save her.

As emergency personnel began to arrive on the scene, Paco continued to stay where he was, looking heartbroken. He couldn't imagine going home without his mom.

Paco remained near the accident for hours before Black's family members arrived to retrieve him. A video taken by Russell Colburn of Action News Jax shows Paco wagging his tail as he greets his extended family, still waiting for his owner.

Police think it's possible that the driver of the vehicle was unaware that he had hit someone.
Black's family told Action News Jax that she and Paco were inseparable, which Paco proved in his gut-wrenching display of loyalty.
This is Kelly Black. She's the Jacksonville woman who loved dogs -- and one of her canines, Paco refused to leave her...
