A Hungarian woman was found dead in her Budapest home on Wednesday, having apparently died of natural causes weeks earlier, the BBC reports. Her little dog hadn’t left her side.

Gabor PatakiPataki, the head of animal rescue group Allatmento Liga, which has taken in Zsazsa, a 9-year-old Havanese, tells Reuters:

“The dog was lying next to the dead body, and was so weak that she could not stand up. We had to drag her away.”

Neighbors called the police this week after not seeing Zsazsa’s 66-year-old owner for several weeks.

When police entered the woman’s home, they found Zsazsa extremely malnourished and dehydrated. Doctors say she would have died within days had she not been found.

Now the lucky dog is recovering from her ordeal. “Yesterday she was on her feet again and even wagged her tail,” Pataki says.
