The animal was surprised that the little pooch didn't leave his injured buddy and gushed over his sweet loyalty.

The founder of Logan's legacy and her team went to work getting the two fur babies out of the "scary and unsafe area."

The rescue proved difficult.

Volunteers didn't want to scare the dogs into the busy road by making the wrong move. Once they got to the canines, they realized the female pooch had a serious injury.

"We were so relieved but the hard part was getting the sweet girl up the ramp and safely into my van, her leg is literally broken," she recalled.
