Unbreakable Bond

The love of a mourning dove.
I was startled by a loud thump this afternoon to find that a dove rammed into my front door.
Sadly, she was injured. She managed to hobble over to some trees and to my astonishment a fellow (possible mate?) dove flew by her side.
That dove has been by her side for six hours. Everywhere she moves, he follows. It is heart wrenching.
Truly a love story. I hope they make it through the night.
