Dog Waits 3 Days Alone After Entire Family Dies, Reunion With Owner’s Grandfather Leaves Internet In Tears

A pet dog named Sheroo waited three days for his family after their tragic deaths in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. He was rescued by his owner's grandfather.

A pet dog named Sheroo was left waiting inside his home for three days after the deaths of his owner and both his parents in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra. He was finally rescued in an emotional reunion with his owner's grandfather.

The tragedy occurred in the Tisgaon area after 18-year-old Kunal Chandgude became upset when his father refused to buy him a new iPhone due to financial difficulties. Kunal went to a hilltop and threatened suicide.

His parents followed him and spent nearly three hours trying to persuade him to return. Police, villagers, and fire brigade personnel joined the rescue effort, but Kunal kept moving along the edge of the hill. Around 1 pm, Kunal jumped. His father tried to grab him but lost his balance and fell. Sangita, who witnessed the fall, also jumped. All three died.

Meanwhile, Sheroo remained inside the family home for three days. People provided him with some food and water, but his condition deteriorated as he waited for his family to return.
