Incredibly sad. What an animal and pet. Dogs are the best.

Those brave people. So sad and the picture really drives it home.

...and some 'experts' say dogs can't show emotion.

I remember stories from the earthquake in Japan where dogs were lying in the rubble on top of where their homes used to be. Somehow they found their way home after that mess. It is incredible.

And as far as the soldiers go, I remember seeing a picture of young woman laying on the grave of her fiance - talk about heartbreaking.

saw this yesterday...dogs constantly amaze me

it reminded me of this

In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in Hachikō as a pet. During his owner's life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the golden brown Akita waited at Shibuya station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for nine years with Hachikō appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.[2]

that's amazing. and all these stories are making me feel really sad. I'm feeling unusually emotional for some reason anyway, and this is not helping.

how sad. :(

wow, both stories are amazing and both are incredibly sad. i feel terrible right now.

this is very embarrassing and hard for me to admit, but about 8 months ago i was at my lowest point in my life and was suffering from a terrible depression and at times had contemplated a quick and easy way out of my situation... but every time i thought about it and thought about what i would say in my goodbye letter i looked at my dog and knowing what that would have done to him was enough to get me to seek help. he was my salvation at that point. i am recovered from all of that now, but my god, dogs are amazing animals...

No need to be embarrassed about that. We all have and go through difficult times. Thankfully you got through it, and thankfully your best friend (and you, his) got through it....

i think the response of "how sad" was directed at the whole situation. but the story was about the picture of the dog....and about how the dog wanted to stay by his side. so, there's your explanation for the dog responses.

Did you read the article? The dog was a part of his family.

"Pembleton wrote on Facebook that Hawkeye was Tumilson’s loyal pet who wouldn't leave his master’s side during the funeral in Rockford, Iowa.
“I felt compelled to take one photo to share with family members that couldn't make it or couldn't see what I could from the aisle,” Pembleton wrote."
