Breaks my heart…owner was ready to go, but why did he put his dog into that awful place.
Sigh.
Good dog...
Bad owner...

"They say" that suicides are really selfish - never thinking about what they leave behind. But this story sure shows how loyal our dogs can be.

Aloof towards strangers - both me and the dogs – yes, me/them too.
Stubborn - definitely both - We prefer the term indepentent thinkers
Very inquisitive (have to know what is going on) - yup - well, them yes, me not so much.
High strung - hooboy!
Active yet can be very lazy…. also totally us.
Smart/learn quickly - them yes - me - well, they teach very well but me? - see "determined" above.

What I find most telling about this article is its insistence that animal intelligence should mimic that of humans or be measured by blind obedience. Cats do problem-solve and communicate as effectively as dogs, but not in ways these scientists would like them to. We can reference the numerous stories of cats saving their families from disasters like fire: http://www.clickorlando.com/family/5998305/detail.html ; http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5994906 ; http://www.catchannel.com/news/2008/10/16/cat-saves-family-from-fire.aspx These are a few among many, many stories of cats doing a great service to humans.

We also cannot forget the service of cats during the European Black Plague, which was caused by fleas from rodents. Cats are equals to dogs, just different. I am a fan of both, although I have usually chosen to be a staff member for a cat rather than a dog owner for most of my adult life.

Good article. thank you for sharing it, NDO.

Amazing story, what a loyal, sad dog to gather the belongings and sleep with them. And an incredible job of detective work to find the family. Thanks for sharing this touching tale.
