Dog Has Been Watching Over His Owner's Grave for Six Years

That man was his human, his friend. Dogs love unconditional and are loyal to the end and beyond. Take care of him as he watches over your dad.

With all the hate, evil and madness in the world today, it's so heartwarming to continue to see how our dogs provide unconditional love and loyalty to us to the end. If only humans could follow their example.

In this world of extreme madness and insanity brought on by humans, it's so heartwarming to read stories about the unconditional love and loyalty from our dogs. If only humans can take note.

I think the real question here is how they got the dogs to perform those facial expressions!

The Love and respect this dog has for its owner should be taken as a lesson for all of us on how to treat Family and Friends. Im not embarrassed to say this brings a tear to my eye.

German Shepherds are also prone to Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, a disorder which must be treated by utilizing an enzyme to predigest their food in order for them to be able to metabolize it. Otherwise, they die of starvation no matter how much they may be fed. Other dogs get this (I have a Corgi who has it) but it is most prevalent in shepherds.

The bond between Doug's and their owners is one that has existed for over 10,000 years and is constantly displayed over and over. Good examples are the recent video'o of returning service men and their Doug's evident joy at their return. When everyone may leave you your dog will always remain at your side.

I wonder if the dogs really know their owners are dead or just think they are gone & are waiting their return. Dogs are scent driven. I wonder if the dog was allowed to smell their owners dead bodies right after they die, if they would grieve the same or be able to move on? If your child or loved one left home & never returned, would you believe they were dead (w/o DNA proof) or continue to have hope that you would one day see your loved one again alive?

I wonder if the dogs know their owners are dead and will not be returning or they just think they are gone & are waiting for them to return. Dogs are scent driven. I think if the dog was allowed to smell their owners bodies after they past, they might act differently & not grieve the loss the same. They would then know the spirit has left the body & not hang around in vain. If we were just told our loved one was dead & I never saw their body or had valid proof, we might not believe it either. What would you do to find a lost loved one? Would you give up hope that they might some day return unless you knew for sure they were dead?

When our 11 year old female dog, Ginger, died unexpectedly on this past Thanksgiving day my husband cried every day for 5-6 weeks. He kept saying "no one has never ever loved me like that dog". After reading these stories I know what he meant.
