Zak is on his way home

When 59-year-old Robert Shields suffered a heart attack behind the wheel of his big rig on a Nebraska interstate, his best friend Zak stayed by his side until help arrived.

Shields died after his 18-wheeler crashed, leaving Zak in the hands of the Nebraska Humane Society.

"He was so scared back there and you have to realize he's been through a traumatic experience I'm sure with the accident and then brought to a strange place not knowing who we are, where it is," said the Humane Society's Pam Weise.




note: American Airlines has agreed to fly Zak home to California -- for free.
