Dogs are actually angels in disguise, sent to earth to teach us the true meaning of selfless love.

Dogs are amazingly loyal.

Probably against the law but I’d hope when the dog passes they can bury him right there, even if done secretly by the graveyard caretakers.

Touching and wonderful. Truly, dogs are still a mans best friend and were indispensable helpers in time past but remain a natural friend of men.

Somewhere around here I have a photo of me standing besides the statue of Greyfriar’s Bobby at the entrance to the cemetery in Scotland. It has only been 50 years since that photo was taken you would think I would remember where I put important stuff like that! :D

How true! I call one of mine Hairy the Angel Dog. He is a certified therapy pet and we go to hospitals, convalescent homes and assisted living homes to give the folks a break from the indescribable boredom. Stuck in these places maybe till the end of their lives without having a dog to pet, it is awful.

Amazing. The world would be such a darker place had God not given us dogs.

George Patton's Bull Terrier Willie lies awaiting his master who was never to return, Patton had just died from his injuries suffered in a car crash and his personal effects are all packed to be shipped to his wife, Bea.

This is a heartbreaking picture......

If you were drawn to this story, rent the movie Haichi:A
Dogs Tale. One of those movies i can watch over and over
and cry each time. It stars Richard Gere and Joan Allen.

Like I always say, I don’t want to live in a world without dogs.
