The puppy they raised died by their side, too.
The bodies of a pair of university students were found hugging each other tightly Thursday morning under the ruins of a residential building in Taiwan.
The building collapsed during a deadly earthquake last weekend in Taiwan, which killed dozens and has left many more still trapped.
Tsai Meng-chia, the male student, was reported to be covering his girlfriend Huang Ruo-hsin with nothing but his own body as a desperate effort at protection. Rescuers struggled to unwrap his arms from around her.
The young couple, both 21 and junior students, have been identified as students of the local Kun Shan University in the southern city of Tainan where the magnitude-6.4 earthquake overturned the 16-story building where they lived.
Tsai posted many loving images of the two of them on Facebook, including this one of them hiking hand-in-hand over a year ago. The caption reads: "If we hold hands, I hope it's for my whole life."
The two explored constantly, posting pictures of their exploits together all the while. "There are many more places in Taiwan that I still wanna see," Tsai once wrote.
