A FORLORN dog refuses to leave the muddy graveside of his owner who was killed in the floods that have brought devastation to Brazil.

Loyal pet Leao was photographed after spending a second day waiting for Cristina Maria Cesario Santana who died in the Teresopolis region.

Interestingly, I recently viewed the movie (starring Richard Gere) about this dog. The dog was the real star...and you will need Kleenex to watch it.

How sad. Reminds me of this picture of General Patton's Bull Terrier Willie as he lay next to his master's belongings after the General's death:

Dogs are the most loyal creatures God in his wisdom ever created.

Ever hear the story of Greyfriars Bobby?

[null and void]

And muslims hate dogs why again?

[Red_Devil 232]

I started watching that movie ... but decided it was not going to turn out well .... so decided that I did not need the grief and went to bed.

Also, George Graham Vest’s Eulogy to a dog.

Oh that is a sad picture too. We always hear of how people grieve for their pets but I just realized that pets do the same thing.

Reminds one of Greyfriar’s Bobby - 19th c. dog that guarded his master’s grave for a number of years. The Disney movie is one a remember fondly from my childhood.
