Through the last six years of his life, Parley Nichols, 81, never left his Hartville, Ohio, home without his dog Lady. The two were best friends, soul mates and constant companions who took care of each other.
So when Parley, who had developed dementia, went missing on April 8, it was no surprise that Lady, his 6-year-old golden retriever that he bought as a puppy, was also gone.

He is your friend, your partner, your
defender, your dog. You are his life, his
love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful
and true, to the last beat of his heart. You
owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion

Oh, that’s just a terrible thing to say!
I have a couple cats who are very devoted to me. They wouldn’t do any such thing. And both get along very well with my English Springer Spaniel.
I like this article because my father has Alzheimer disease and we bought a Golden Retriever puppy last December. Now 7 months old, Cookie is 70 lbs. and growing. His paws look like tree stumps!

Awe, Jeeze! Did you HAVE to post this and ping me? *SNIF*
There’s nothing more loyal than a dog. My Lab would act in the same manner; my Basset Hound would eat me and my cats would nibble around the edges, LOL!
