LA PUENTE (CBS) — A passing motorist put out traffic cones on a busy La Puente street to protect a Labrador Retriever as it stood watch over another lab that had been killed by a vehicle, animal control officers said Saturday.
Video shot by the motorist showed a yellow lab down in the 1200 block of Hacienda Boulevard, with a black lab standing next to it.
“When I saw the video clip taken by a passerby’s cellphone, I became emotional,” said Marcia Mayeda, director of the Los Angeles County animal
shelter in Baldwin Park.
“Our officers picked up both dogs from the location, and the brave dog, who staff and volunteers have named Grace, will be available for adoption soon,” Mayeda said.
The Baldwin Park Animal Care Center is at 4275 Elton Street in Baldwin Park.

My mother always told me this story about Fala, Roosevelt’s little scotty.
Sometime after Roosevelt died she claims a story was circulated that it was said Fala one day jumped up and trotted down the path he and Roosevelt used to take their daily walk. The dog was seen looking up at the spot where he would normally be looking at his master, Roosevelt, apparently happily trotting after him.
I think the title has your answer

Labs are stand-up dogs. I miss mine.
You’ve got that right! I like my dog better than 99% of the people than I know. And everday he leaves big steaming piles (that I always pick up) that contribute more to society than the Bamster and his Wookie wife
