wow. it is so cool that animals do that. i would hope my dog would do that for me.

Saddest. Story. Today.

And, WTF? It took the damned ambulance two hours?????

When my father died, my dog would start barking and howling at 6 am because that's when he ran him.

In Shibuya station in Japan, they've got a statue of a dog that used to come and wait for his owner, who one day, died at/near work and never came back. So the dog stayed there until it died, waiting for its owner to come back.

Wow. Just wow.

Humm

There's also a memorial to a dog in a London cemetery that spent it's days at it's master's graveside after he died.

That...is so sad. It got me really teary eyed.

That is... really sad

More proof that dogs really are man's best friend.

And that cats are just evil bastards...

Hold on, I need to go give my dog a hug.

Is it me, or do you get the feeling that reading inbetween the lines, neither of these women was wearing a seatbelt ?

The bonds we humans make between are pets is amazing. When my dad's cat lost its playmate (another cat) due to a freak accident she was always very needy from then on and always needed a human around to sit on.

So far Ive been lucky enough not to have to adopt any of my family's pets after such a tragic accident as this.

Honestly, I am not the least bit moved. Sorry.

Actually it's in Ireland (i forget the name of the dog, but I've visited the grave).
It's the inspiration for Terry Pratchett's Gaspode the Wonder Dog.

Once you have a dog.. I don't think you can say that...

[begins to wonder if his aunt's Jack Russell would do something similar]

Didn't they do a movie about this back in the '50's, starring Lassie?

On a side note, after my beagle-mix had to be put to sleep, my (first) cat would search for her. Later, after my dad passed away, the cat would look for him, too....

Are you sure there isn't something similar in England? Really, I'm not much affected by this. I was the first time I heard such a story, but it is really a very common phenomenon. It happens all the time, as the above posts show.

The wonder of dogs. You can be gone 8 months or 8 seconds and you always get the same response. A very touching story.

It said her battery died while she was talking to the operator, so they no doubt were unable to trace her call. They probably had to search for her, and it sounds like they're in some sort of rural hell-- I mean it sounds like they're in the countryside. It could've been hard to find a car that went off-road.

It remind me of the story i`ve heard,about the dog that spent the rest of his life on his master`s grave.

Very moving.

Bah, my dog would never do that. I don't think she's 100 percent dog, I think she's 20% dog, 10% cat, 10% monkey and 60% insurance salesman.

Insurance salesman? How'd that happen?

What a loyal dog. The poor thing.
