Dik, 18, was buried by his heartbroken owners who assumed he was dead - but he clawed himself out of his grave and returned home. A family dog who was buried after his owners thought he was dead managed to dig himself out of his grave and make his way home.
Dik, 18, was discovered motionless on his blanket at his home in the Russian village of Novonikolsk.
His heartbroken owners, two elderly sisters, were unable to wake him up and due to his age, assumed he was dead.
They then gathered together to give him a funeral at a pet ceremony in the village, which is in Russia's far eastern Primorsky Krai region, the Mail Online reports.
