Such a sad story but it really touches you. A Navy SEAL went over seas and left his dog with his friend to care for him while he was gone. But he didn't come back. the friend was nice enough to bring the dong to the funeral and when the dog saw the casket he ran over sighed and stayed by it the whole time. It just proves that dog is so much more than just a pet. I was in tears when I read this.
It reminds me of the "Odyssey" where Odysseus comes home and his dog looks up, barks and see he's home then dies. Dogs are closer to some people than friends and family. My dog is just like that. They will wait for everything even if it takes forever.
Your great great uncle's dog did that, my mothers brother.
ReplyDeleteMonths after my uncle died, the family took the dog to the cemetery with them and the dog jumped from the car and raced to the grave. How did he know what grave it was? He could smell or sense it somehow.
He would lay by the back door every night hoping my uncle would come home to him.
that's sad.
ReplyDeleteI read the passage on this man and his dog and it was so sad. I feel bad for the dog.
