A loyal dog stayed by her pal's side for a WEEK after she got trapped in a ravine.
Bassett hound Phoebe and setter mix Tillie went missing from their home in Washington State, US, on September 8.

Dog saves child from bees, dies from stings
Updated 12:59 PM ET December 22, 1999
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A dog saved his four-year-old master from a swarm of bees by covering him with his body, and then died from the stings, Argentine police said Wednesday.
Kharin Toloza was playing with his dog Chocolate in Valle Viejo, northwestern Argentina, when he was attacked by the insects, local police told the state-run Telam news agency.
The dog jumped and stayed on top of the boy, who was taken to hospital but was declared out of danger after receiving just a few stings. The dog died.
NEAR THIS SPOT
ARE DEPOSITED THE REMAINS OF ONE
WHO POSSESSED BEAUTY WITHOUT VANITY
STRENGTH WITHOUT INSOLENCE

AND ALL THE VIRTUES OF MAN WITHOUT HIS VICES
THIS PRAISE WHICH WOULD BE UNMEANING FLATTERY
IF INSCRIBED OVER HUMAN ASHES
IS BUT A JUST TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF
BOATSWAIN, A DOG
WHO WAS BORN AT NEWFOUNDLAND, MAY 1803,
AND DIED AT NEWSTEAD, NOVEMBER 18, 1808.
Awww...great, hero dog.

Darn...you may be right. In this horrible world, there is always an ulterior motive. I should have know. ;)
*known.
God is love and it is evident that The LORD of love fashioned dogs.
I said much the same to a friend just yesterday...I think they were created to be our friend.
