Loyal pooch sleeps on his master's grave for six years straight
This German shepherd wins our Most Loyal Dog of the Decade (and maybe ever) award. When Miguel Guzmán died in 2006, his pooch Capitán disappeared while the family attended the funeral. A week later, relatives visiting the Argentinian cemetery were astounded to find the dog crying by his owner's grave. Thing is, no one had ever taken Capitán to the cemetery. "It's a mystery how he managed to find the place," said Guzmán's widow. The cemetery's director says that Capitán lies down on the grave each night by 6 p.m. just as he has every night for the past six years.

I would like my dog to just move on instead of squandering away the rest of his life.
Yes, I'm a cat person. (but I love dogs too  )

Am I the only one who is neither a cat or dog person? I love them both, although I have 2 dogs.

Well, that's taking the phrase "A man's best friend" to a whole new level. And that's not a joke or insult. This dog man. Forever loyal.

Cats are just cute animals that are cool to have around. Dogs are good buddies. It depends on what you want out of an animal companion, really.

That dog was actually based on the true Japanese story of Hachiko. But it's a pretty similar case, Hachiko waited every day at the station where his owner used to leave to go work, despite him not coming back after some sort of unexpected illness killed him while he was at work, until the day Hachiko died after almost 9 years.

I found out about this story today thanks to this newer case. Amazing dog and all, though I'm not sure if I agree on stuffing that dogs body...making him a tourist "object". I think he should've been buried next to his owner (there apparently is a monument for the dog next to the grave anyway).
But I wonder if this dog will get some statues. Apparently Hachiko has 3 in Japan:

My cat always waited for me at my door at the same time every morning when I woke up, waited at the front door every time for me to come home from school.
Really depends on how your pet is raised. I can easily say that this dog was wonderfully raised.

Funfact: pigs have been shown to be just as, if not more, loyal than a dog.
No, not an animal activist, I eat pork and love bacon. Evidentially, did you know that human meat is closely related to pork? If you love pork, you'd most likely have a liking for human meat, assuming you take away the negative stigma of eating a person. PerhaPs if it was a surprise meal, and they were told it was specially sweetened pork.

I was actually talking about this yesterday, apparently in Germany, Bacon is called "Swine Flesh" which sounds nowhere near as appealing.

Someone read about the japanese guy eating the dutch girl, litterally. Did you see the pictures as well? Haha. But yeah when I buy my own house I want a miniature pot belly pig. They are so cute haha.

If you think that was disturbing you should read the articles where she found that out. Some japanese dude DOCUMENTED, how he seared this poor dutch exchange woman and how the different parts of the body taste. There was also some russian mobster(I think) who killed his druge rival and cooked him up in a stew.

I don't see how that has anything to do with my cat's behaviors.
