They say that a dog is a man's best friend. This story also shows how loyal dogs are to one another. It's the story of Athena and Zeus.

Athena tried to jump over a fence but her back foot got caught on one of the barbs.

She dangled there for two days with her friend, Zeus, by her side.

 

Zeus barked non-stop until someone heard his cries and called Fulton County Animal Services for help.

They freed Athena from the fence and also took Zeus along with them.

They say Athena's toe is swollen but she's being treated with pain medication.

An employee with the Animal Shelter said that she visited with the dogs the next day and saw Zeus busy licking Athena's injured toe.

The shelter is now trying to find a loving home for both dogs.
