The incredible loyalty of dogs...

Capitan keeps watch over Miguel Guzman's grave. An extremely dedicated dog has continued to show its loyalty, keeping watch on its owner's grave six years after he passed away.

Capitan, a German shepherd, reportedly ran away from home after its owner, Miguel Guzman, died in 2006. A week later, the Guzman family found the dog sitting by his grave in central Argentina.

Miguel Guzman adopted Capitan in 2005 as a gift for his teenage son, Damian. And for the past six years, Capitan has continued to stand guard at Miguel's grave. The family says the dog rarely leaves the site.

"We searched for him, but he had vanished," widow Veronica Guzman told LaVoz.com. "We thought he must have got run over and died.

'The following Sunday we went to the cemetery, and Damian recognized his pet. Capitan came up to us, barking and wailing as if he were crying."

Adding to the unusual circumstances, Veronica says the family never brought Capitan to the cemetery before he was discovered there.

"It is a mystery how he managed to find the place," she said.

Cemetery director Hector Baccega says he and his staff have begun feeding and taking care of Capitan.

"He turned up here one day, all on his own, and started wandering all around the cemetery until he eventually found the tomb of his master," Baccega said.

"During the day he sometimes has a walk around the cemetery, but always rushes back to the grave. And every day, at six o'clock sharp, he lies down on top of the grave, stays there all night."

But the Guzman family hasn't abandoned Capitan. Damian says the family has tried to bring Capitan home several times but that he always returns to the cemetery on his own.

"I think he's going to be there until he dies, too. He's looking after my dad," he said.

Richard Gere dies. I liked that part.

Wow! That's amazing that the dog went to the cemetery in the first place. Even more amazing that he found his owner's grave.

That better be a true story, cause it made my eyes well up. :sadangel:

I was having a particularly bad day not too long ago. I was sitting on the floor against my couch. Out of nowhere, my old dog Chuck came up to me, sat down and put his head on my lap. I make fun of Chuck a lot, but that day I was really glad he was there to watch over me, as there wasn't anyone else. I realized what a good pup he really is. :angel:

Dogs know so much more than we think they know. I've had friends tell me stories like yours, and how their dog sympathized with them when there was a death in the family, and how their dog would check on their sick kid at home.

Cats, on the other hand, only let you know if someone is dying. But they don't pull sleds, either...

[lspencer534]

I've seen the compassion of dogs numerous times in my life. :yesnod:




Only if said someone is in the way of something they want/need. Otherwise they don't care. :funny:

Seriously though, we had the runt of a litter and he and his mom would always come up to my wife or I when we were feeling down. They knew when we were in the dumps and needed a pick me up. :yesnod:

A dog's mood is completely dependent upon its owner's mood, but I think it's more complicated than that. If our spouse walked in one day with an upset look on their face, we'd have to find out the problem before we would know what kind of consolation to offer. Not dogs. They just know somehow. Maybe I'm reading more into that than there is, maybe they've figured out that a general kind of mood on their part covers everything.

Whatever it is, they have immense abilities of empathy and seem to always be spot-on with their reactions.

She doesn't want you to fix the problem or even offer a particular type of consolation. She pretty much always just wants you to listen and understand how she's feeling.

I have seen other such stories of Dogs doing this sort of thing,they greeve much as we do. When my Molly was in the Hospital in Athens this week her little Sister Peaches cried every day she was gone.

So you are not counting on Annie or any of the rest of your puzzy posse to do graveside duty for you? How about the Barbie brigade?

I imagine Annie will spray my headstone and then find another sucker to cater to her. The only one who I think will be hurt by my death is Tank. He's the devoted type of little guy who would probably waste away at my grave site. He would spend 24 hours a day with me holding him...with short--but frequent--food breaks. Bless is feckin' little heart. :sadangel:

How many Barbie pall bearers would be required?

About as many that's required to change a light bulb: 240K to discuss the cosmetics of the procedure, and another 500K to decide what to wear.
