koalathebear Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So sad, but touching. After Lao Pan passed away this month at 68, his only Earthly companion, a light-haired dog, disappeared from his home in Panjiatun, a village near Qingdao, China. Residents of the village later found the mutt sitting by his former owner’s grave site, where he remained for seven days, unmoved by the villagers efforts to coax him away with food. When they forcibly removed him and gave him some sweet buns to eat, he merely took the buns and brought them back to the grave. They eventually relented and brought the food to him. Sky News reports that there a plans to build a kennel for the dog inside the graveyard, so that he can always be near his best friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PhwcJmfjbk&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Sky News reports that there a plans to build a kennel for the dog inside the graveyard, so that he can always be near his best friend. Their loyalty just knows no bounds sometimes, does it? Our best friends will remani that way until their dying breaths. Brings to mind some of he other dogs who have done this. Nobody should ever watch the Hachi movie. Way. too. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everythings Shiny Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hachi makes me cry everytime. I suspect my mothers dog will be much like this if she passes before him The sadness these poor dogs must feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 My girls & I have never recovered from watching Hachi Chris Mother of the year for that pick! (Note to self -read the cover next time!!!!!) Neither did me and Mum! She taped it specially, ad we watched it together... bawled. The entire last half of the movie we were just in tears! We looked at one another when it was finished and swore we would never be able to watch it again, too sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaheel02 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Gulp (swallows hard due to large lump in throat), a little too close to home at the moment. My beloved Uncle passed away on Rememberance Day and his little JRT who was his constant and devoted companion has come to live with me. Dick and "Lucky" were devoted to each other and I know the little dog is missing his owner terribly, but he's doing OK at the moment. It's probably a good distraction that he has to try to keep up with the 'big dogs' at home. S P.S. KTB, you'd better not laugh out loud if you see me coming along with three and a half dogs!!!

GeckoTree Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Wonderful video thanks for posting it, and some people claim dogs don't have intelligence or feelings akin to us humans. They even try and self import them selves with big words like anthropomorphism lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talien Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Some religions also claim that they don't have souls. I might anthropomorphise my animals, but they like being treated as equals, they tell me so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalathebear Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 P.S. KTB, you'd better not laugh out loud if you see me coming along with three and a half dogs!!! Wouldn't dream of it!!! The doggy looks like such a gorgeous creature. The bit where he's in a drop with head on the ground is so sad :'( I wonder if he 'understands' ...
