That one really pulls the heart strings. I've been crying my eyes out for the past half hour - this one caught me off guard. aww  So sad. The poor thing. OMG. The dog has seen people treat his master like a shell, but still remembers the hand that fed it and showed it when it was good, is the same hand. He now knows his master is absolutely defenseless, beside the defense the dog displays for his master's character. The dog will always hear his master's voice. While we have gone deaf Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking.Yes. Yet somehow... The words escape me. There is beauty in such devotion and love. Heartbreak in the confusion and loss yes, but... I know what you mean, kmcolo. I thought the same thing. It certainly speaks to the type of love and devotion of which a dog is capable, earnest and sincere. I've been crying my eyes out for the past half hourA good cry is a terrible thing to waste. As the saying goes, "My goal in life..... is to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am." Heartbreaking....and heartwarming at once. i can't stop looking at these. and they are bringing tears to my eyes as well. :'( It is interesting the very different reactions that these photos elicit in people. I printed it out and got some heavy negatives from the photos. Loss can be a very difficult thing to face and feel. The dog will always hear his master's voice. While we have gone deafYes, he will Pokkets.  As the saying goes, "My goal in life..... is to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am."POPPED for BobbuRutan's comments. Though an old saying, true, nonetheless. So sad! I love and own dogs and know the loyalty they express. Feel so badly for this little one; not to mention the person under the white sheet! It makes me want to outlive my pets. They are here with me at work. I look down and speak. They look up with love. Who else will understand them like I do. ohh. i teared up a little. ;~; that's very unsettling. i'd like to think my cats would do that. That is so sad. Causes a deep pain in my soul. Does any one wounder what happened to the dog? How did the master die? This is the only background I can find on the photo: São Paulo, Brazil - a homeless guy who was killed for some unknown reason. He had this street dog who followed him around. if i have 2chose (and i do)) as mona mentioned it is really more heartwarming than heartbreaking. pain is pain, we live with it. yet meeting an exposure an happening in life human animal or any other that elevates you - that`s really precious & heartwarming. O God! There's nothing like the love and loyalty of a dog. (Upon discovering my mother's body, her little dog was lying on her chest. She growled when anyone tried to remove her. She lay there until the undertakers arrived. And until her own death, two years later, she waited all day, every day, at the gate ... waiting, waiting, waiting) Wow Funny how it takes animals to bring out the compassion in all of us.Good pictures and story. michellezm I've heard from another friend with a story similiar to your mother's circumstances. There's no question that our pets grieve and have a sense of loss. We're their entire world - it revolves around us. We are not so different from this dog. Mammals share a portion of the brain called the Liminal Brain, which lies, as the name suggests, on the boundary between the instinctive reptilian brain and the analytical Neocortex. Lesions on this membrane in the brain can produce sociopathic behavior. It is presumed that this is the portion of our brain that harbors our senses of empathy and compassion. Empathy is an incredibly striking trait, basically unique to mammals. It allows us to extend our consciousness to entities beyond our bodies, to mentally travel beyond our mere solipsistic physical experience, and to feel about others the same way we would feel about ourselves. This is the mercurial... I keep coming back to this picture all day as I'm here at work. I must have come back to look at it about 5 times so far. I can't explain it. That's terrible... I hope the dog was taken to a good home. some week or so ago, mi dog died poisoned by a scorpion, well this two fotos sudenly brought some memmories back thanks for the share ouyangwulong that's great information and very good insight; the person under the sheet alone without a dog is almost an image seen all too often on television and the news. When you add the dog to the visual, the person under the sheet is not so much a stranger anymore. That is soo sad,it made me cry. I have 4 dogs and I see and REWARD their loyalty and unconditional love EVERYDAY. that clip and comments has touched me so much Alan. I feel sad. Thank you for clipping.It is so sad, yet heartwarming. nobody loves you like your dog or cat. true love and devotion. |
