The bond between dog and
master goes beyond the grave, as evidenced by Capitán's unyielding loyalty to
his master Miguel Guzmán, from Argentina. Capitán went missing for a few days,
but he was eventually found lying in the cemetery next to Guzmán's resting
place.
The remarkable part about
this story is that Miguel died in a hospital, and his body was taken to a
funeral home far away from where he lived. Capitán had never been to the
cemetery before.
The first time the funeral
director saw Capitán, he arrived at the cemetery alone. The dog did a few laps
through the tombstones before finding his master's grave — all on his own. Capitán
continues to visit his old master every single day, at 6:00 p.m., like
clockwork.
Lost Dog Save A Life: Yolanda Sevogia's neighbour,
Stacey Savige, knocked on her door one morning asking if she could keep an eye
on a lost terrier she found roaming around the local elementary school. Yolanda
agreed to watch the dog, but told Stacey it would only be for the day. The two
women took photos of the dog and printed off 4,000 FOUND fliers, stuffed them
in mailboxes and also placed an ad on Craigslist.
In the meantime, Yolanda
went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not
to fall in love with the dog. At the time Yolanda's son Azaiah was 10 years
old, and Christian was 21 years old. Christian has Down syndrome and an
assortment of other ailments, and had recently undergone heart and kidney
surgeries.
Four days later Yolanda
was still looking after the dog, who they had started to call RaeLee
(pronounced Riley). When she arrived home from work, the dog flung himself
against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the
door, RaeLee sprinted into the boys' room where Yolanda found Christian in the
middle of a violent seizure. RaeLee ran over to Christian, but as soon as
Yolanda bent over to help him the dog went silent.
"If he hadn't come to
get me, the neurologist said Christian would have choked on his own blood and
died," Yolanda reported to the Tampa Bay Times. At this point, no
one had called to claim the dog so Yolanda decided to keep him.
The next morning Stacey
got a call; a man named Randy recognized his lost dog and called the number on
the flier. Stacey started crying, and told him, "That dog saved my
friend's son."
Randy drove to Yolanda's
house to pick up his dog, and saw Azaiah crying on the porch and Christian in
the window. After a few moments Randy said, "Maybe Odie was supposed to
find you, maybe you should keep him.
