I just read a most amazing story about a dog named Capitan who has kept watch over his human’s grave for six years. While that’s incredible all by itself, there’s more to this story. A LOT more.
When his human died Capitan–who had never been taken to the cemetery where is human was interred–ran away from home and found his way to the graveyard. He walked all over the cemetery until he found his human’s gravesite. And he has stayed there for 6 years.
The family tried a few times to bring Capitan home, but he always found his way back. Eventually, the cemetery staffers began feeding him. He sometimes roams around the graveyard during the day, but at 6pm sharp he is always at his human’s gravesite and spends the night there, guarding his beloved friend.

This is not the first time that this happened. Dogs are amazing. In Edinburgh, Scotland, a man named Jock had a dog named Bobby. When Jock died, Bobby slept on his grave for many years. There was a Disney movie, but here is a brief YouTube
Dogs are amazing. Always have been.
Thank you for sharing the clip, Elyse.I’ve heard differing stories about Greyfriar’s Bobby, but clearly something extraordinary occurred.

That makes me want to go hug Velcro…
Velcro the pet or Veclro the sticky material? ;-D!
Both will stick to me? I prefer the terrier:)
Sounds like a good choice to me.
Lovely story, to be loved that much is just wonderful
Yes, it must have been an incredible bond between to amazing hearts or spirits.
How absolutely touching! Animals are amazing.
Humankind can learn much from our furry friends if we’ll only stop to learn with open minds and hearts.
So very, very true!
