A loyal German Shepherd dog checked on her owner after she tripped during a walk in northern China.

Heartwarming CCTV footage filmed in the city of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, on January 15, shows a woman walking her dog, Bottle, on a leash. As the eager pet chased after another dog, the woman tripped and fell.

Despite being engrossed in the chase, Bottle quickly realized his owner had fallen and promptly turned back to check on her.

The owner explained, 'Normally, Bottle is quite obedient, but when he gets too excited about confronting his arch-nemesis from across the street, he tends to pull harder.'

However, since Bottle cared enough to check back, not only was he not punished, but he received jerky from the filmer as a reward after returning home.
